A fantastic collection of new images of the northern lakes has just arrived: http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/photos/raw/rawi...?imageID=298704

Nice mosaic and great overlay. There are some interesting differencences from the SAR view.
Here is an image from a few days earlier that I like because it shows almost the whole of Titan's northern lake province now in daylight. (It's one of many that are ripe for stacking and other clever stuff.) http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...0/N00216700.jpg |

Agree the earlier views of the N polar lakes are striking. The September 6th images stand in stark contrast to those of Sept 2009 when plenty of tropospheric clouds appeared over the N polar lakes and seas (figure on left). The apparent lack of clouds raise questions as to 1) whether the clouds are seasonal-atmospheric phenomena and not much influenced by the lakes presence or 2) whether the lake/sea composition and minimal seasonal winds at this time are less conducive for cloud formation. The color composite images and the upper haze layers (seen in the UV3 filter) are also awesome (figure on the right). |
