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.

Hi!
QUOTE Yeah, that area was imaged in August 2004, but from so far away (10 million kilometres) that the only details visible were the basic outline of the Roncevaux Terra basin, and its central peak. So, although we *have* seen it, it's effectively unexplored. I've looked through the images of this period and probably found some of those you meant. Here a takeout: Date: 2004-07-22 Distance: 3.489.136 km Filters: CL1 and CL2 Difficult to say wether it's the western rim of the large southern bassin in Roncevaux Terra at the terminator. This chart could be helpful: The eastern rim of the bassin is nice in this pics from October 2004: Bye. |

Hi,
CASSINI took a series of 41 Iapetean far distance pics yesterday, here a first takeout: Date: 2006-11-27 Distance: 1.997.980 km Filters: CL1 and CL2 There's an interesting dark feature east (right) of the 'Snowman'. View with Solar System Simulator: Part of Steve Albers map: The mentioned dark structure contains at least one crater with a dark ground. Bye. |
