The latest shots of Mezzoramia and environs are nice:

From 'looking ahead' for 103 (and 104 is now there too):
"On Feb. 15, ISS will acquire several satellites observations. These include a nine-hour long observation of Titan where ISS will search for clouds and hopefully watch them move across the southern part of the sub-Saturn hemisphere. This distant observation will also provide an opportunity to look at Mezzoramia, a dark albedo region in Titan’s mid-Southern latitudes. Distance to Titan varies during this long observation between 1.2 and 1.37 million kilometers" This suggests that there should be many more images like the one we've been discussing. Were they acquired? |
