Tomorrow - best view yet, less than 50,000 km. I hope we get a view of a different part of the surface than we've seen before.

Cassini's recent view of Helene was the subject of a nice release today:
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...fm?imageID=2273 Here I've stretched the Saturnshine areas even more to pull out everything that might be visible. It really shows the value of even high phase imaging of these little things. Phil CRedit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Phil,
Is it my imagination, or is there a long scarp-like feature visible in the Saturn-shine, near the right limb? Also, which hemisphere of the moon are we looking at here? North or South? Ian. -------------------- |
