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

There was an interesting talk by Pascal Rannou at EPSC ( http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EPS...PSC2013-459.pdf - although the abstract doesn't mention results yet), showing a very nice fit to the DISR data with a combination of water ice and fractal haze particles. Apparently it shows a water ice feature at 1.5 micron.

There was an interesting talk by Pascal Rannou at EPSC ..... showing a very nice fit to the DISR data with a combination of water ice and fractal haze particles. Apparently it shows a water ice feature at 1.5 micron. Awesome. 20 years ago we were grappling with disk-integrated groundbased spectroscopy, and the best fit people could come up with was 'dirty ice'. And now, after much debate on Huygens/DISR and Cassini/VIMS, we discover.....dirty ice. This is getting as bad as water on Mars..... |

For any poorly constrained yet hugely significant question in planetary science, there will be an endless series of releases answering various better-constrained versions of that question. See also, Voyager, exiting solar system. Or earthlike planet, discovered. |
