Two questions....are those compressed versions of the images, and is this the complete Huygens set?

There are many more photos to come. During the ESA press conference, it was mentioned that they already had received 350 images, partway through transmission from Cassini. The ones released so far are merely the first wave of photos.

I'm just going to go "wtf" for a while
One part of this looks like a a river catchment area starting at a coastline and working inward... And another part - just a little further down the coast ( we drifted along this costal feature - we have views from both sides of it ) We have amore classical river channel I will keep saying WTF till we have a follow on misison Doug |

Go here: http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/~kholso/jpeg/ to see lots more triplets. Many of them seem to be duplicates, though.

Is it feasable that it landed in a small puddle?
That bottom image looks a lot like a shallow puddle - with something sort of sandy in the bottom and pebbles in it - with a torch held next to it Doug |

I find it interesting that we see plenty of smaller impact craters in these images, compared to what appears to be a lack of larger impact craters on a global scale. At the very least, this should help dating the features we see in the images.

They are in the same place in each image regardless of where the camera is pointing. |

You're right, of course. That was stupid of me. I should have noticed that.

I'd still like to see some unambiguous images of the rivers (can I call them that now?) flowing into the "lake". And if we have that, I'll be happy as a clam to take the quotation marks off. |

doug - mind if I point out some of your great protopanorama work over at BABB? I promise not to slashdot the server!
Or did you lock pics for members only? Boy - hopping between Mars and Titan and BadAstronomy and Here is hard work! Thanks Lyford PS - It does remind me superficially of the Venera images as well - maybe since the field of view is so small too - for a cold shower just switch quickly between a good NavCam Shot from Spirit and the ground shot from Titan. Hope they improve that much when we send the Titan amphibious rover! -------------------- Lyford Rome

To me it looks like glacier which is crumbling. The river channels may be cracks where the ice is breaking apart. Just speculating of course.

QUOTE (Fred @ Jan 14 2005, 01:53 PM) I found this strange circular feature in the top image of triplet # 704. Any ideas on what it is? Good Lord - that's Port Hueneme, California! -------------------- Lyford Rome
