Hi,
CASSINI has transmitted 184 pics (!) over the last days. Here five takeouts, 3-4x enlargement:
Date: 2009-09-06 Distance: 2.228.548 km Filters: CL1 and CL2
Date: 2009-09-08 Distance: 3.215.284 km Filters: P120 and GRN
Date: 2009-09-08 Distance: 3.216.610 km Filters: P60 and GRN
Date: 2009-09-09 Distance: 3.390.271km Filters: P60 and GRN
Date: 2009-09-09 Distance: 3.427.313 km Filters: P120 and GRN Maybe somebody is able to combine some of those images to show more details. Bye. |

I used NASA's space simulator a lot in the past, but I think their maps aren't quite as good as Steve Albers' maps.
The view of July is finally giving us a view of unexplored terrain, just prior to the close encounter of september 2007. Really looking forward to that. |

As TritonAntares said, the key is that the illumination conditions will be different. This "flyby" may be useful for albedo mapping.
