Ya think?

I mentioned Mars. Other bodies that exhibit distinctly different hemispheres include our Moon, with a barren face tidally locked to Earth and a rugged backside. And Iapetus, a moon of Saturn, with a blacken hemisphere and a light hemisphere. With it's equatorial ridge and polygonal flats, it's the weirdest place in the Solar system; even moreso than Phobos.

edit:
Maybe that's a step too far. For instance, the black patch on Iapetus is an ellipse that wraps 240° around the equator, not hemispheric.

I have to accept that I've gone off topic. Maybe this will help:
