This is probably an FAQ for the unhip (and please feel free to slap me if needed!), but will Cassini get any really good views of the dark/light border areas this September? Seems as if that's key for determining the origin of the Great Dark Splat...
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

... but will Cassini get any really good views of the dark/light border areas this September? Seems as if that's key for determining the origin of the Great Dark Splat... We'll get a fairly good view of the most interesting 'White mountains' or 'Voyager mountains' at the western border of Cassini Regio to Roncevaux Terra... ![]() CASSINI will follow the equatorial ridge from east to west first looking at a cresent Iapetus. Btw, there will be two far encounters before: April 15th July 5th Both will show some parts of the terra incognita including a huge bassin about 400-500 km in diameter... ![]() Bye. |
