I finished my first good image of Uranus.
Planet is colorized from three filtered images (orange, green, blue). Slightly brownish color of rings is entirely artificial. -------------------- |

Dear all,
I just bought the book "Uranus" edited by Bergstrahl, Miner and Matthews. With over 1000 pages, it is still "the bible" of the Uranian system. There are many data, pictures, mosaics and schemes not found anywhere else. Looking at the maps of the moons, I realized that there were still many important features without a name (especially on Miranda). Just few examples: the 340° chasma, the South Pole Tangent chasma, the Arden Concentric chasmata. There are also many other interesting linear features as well as craters and basins deserving a name (not only on Miranda). Most of the names were given in 1988. Three others were added in 1997. I'm wondering about the rules to decide to name features. Will we have to wait the next mission to the Uranian system (20 years from now at best) to get some new ones ? Best regards, Marc. |
