T-118 is coming up on April 4th and will feature data acquisition from the same atmospheric region by Cassini’s UVIS (ultraviolet imaging spectrograph) and INMS (ion and neutral mass spectrometer). http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/flybys/titan20160404/
I would post a Ciclops summary of Rev but for some reason I am unable to link to the Ciclops ‘Looking Ahead’ site. (anybody else having this issue?) In the meantime, there have been nice images of Titan from March 29th with Titan’s N polar lakes visible (below). I wonder about the N polar band or hood’s persistence and whether it is influenced by Kraken and the other seas at this latitude. |

I rarely post here but I lurk on this site everyday. I have also noticed the "Ciclops" site is not functioning.
The Ciclops site is one of my very favourite sites to visit. I do hope it is up soon again. -------------------- I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed.

I have been reloading the Ciclops page multiple times a day and it's still down!
I also put together a few views from the flyby: Hazy Crescent Titan in the Infrared You can find more views from the flyby I put together in my blog: http://wp.me/p2WQE3-eS -------------------- Val Klavans

The site seems to be working again ! Although it's nice that Ciclops is working again, I noted that NASA JPL decided to change their Cassini website. With regard to the Raw Images section; only a few are shown, and to see more, you have to click "all raw images," but then the computer is overflooded with tons of images, and it takes a lot of time to select the images you like. Is there another website with raw Cassini images, because this NASA page is not working for me (unless you can select images let's 20 at a time, like it used to be). |

I hate it too. Much modern web design is awful!

Yes, it seems just so unnecessary; what were the problems with the old site?
With those giant buttons and tiny handful of images at once it seems designed more for touchscreens and smartphone navigation and since I own neither of those gadgets (despite my millennial status!) it was wasted effort. It does look 'slick' on the main page so props for that. The giant countdown timer to the next flyby is pretty nice, visually. |

For those of you who (like me) hate the new Cassini website, the old one is still available at:
