I'm looking for a recent map ot Titan. Steve Albers's page links to one done by Fridger Schrempp in April 2005. Cassini has done a dozen flybys since then. Does anyone know if an updated map has been released.

Has someone got an explanation why Titans dark flat plains are along the equator??Dont think that is coincidental!

Has someone got an explanation why Titans dark flat plains are along the equator??Dont think that is coincidental! It could be probably due to tides of Saturns that trigger plate tectonic. They are strongest in equatorial region. So dark areas may be analogue of ocean floor on Earth. And Xanadu and Adiri - Titanian analogue of continents? |
