I do recall a study which showed very faint dark markings on Titan in Voyager 1 images. Not back in the early 80s, but quite a bit later, I think. And absolutely not the polar lakes, but the areas we now know to be dark sand dunes near the equator. But there was never a clear view of anything, only the very vaguest hint of dark areas. I don't recall any comparison with recent maps.
EDIT - oops, there was a comparison! Here is the paper: http://www.jerichardsonjr.info/Papers/jeri...on_ICAR2004.pdf Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

This is why I so much hoped to find the digital Pioneer 11 scans. It had a true red channel, so although the resolution was poor, extracting the surface just might be possible.

They were received on the ground, but cannot now be found in the archives? |
