(Since we have Jovian for the Jupiter system, I'm assuming Hermean, Venerian, Arean and Chronian are the proper adjectives for the rest of the planets. I think, though, that "Poseidian" is a bit much and "Uranus" is basically the same word in Greek and Latin [Ouranos vs. Uranus.] Even "Venerian" isn't entirely correct, but it's either that or "Aphroditan. )
As you may have guessed, my interest in planetary maps has peaked again, and I think it's time to update all my Voyager-sourced maps. The question is, should I buy the latest USGS maps of Mimas, Iapetus, Enceladus, Dione, etc. or are new maps coming anytime soon? |

You are probably looking for shape models/DEMs. Several of Saturn's satellites can be found here:

Hi(gh)!
You are probably looking for shape models/DEMs. Several of Saturn's satellites can be found here: http://sbn.psi.edu/pds/archive/shape.html Very intriguing! And easy to implement in POV-Ray - no conversion from geographic into cartesian coordiates but ready-made vertex and face lists! Cool!!! See you in Khyberspace! Yadgar |
