From the latest PDS batch, here's an approx. natural color composite of Iapetus from June 2006 and alongside it a view from November 2005 showing almost the same hemisphere, but with different illumination:
Both images magnified 2x from original pixel scales. -------------------- |

Ugordan - nice PDS views of these images. The region around 0 degrees longitude at mid-far southern latitudes interests me in that it is somewhat tricky to navigate onto my map, so the more examples there are that show that area, the better. The second view though looks to me more like it's from January 2006, could that be the case? The November 2005 flyby was at a more northerly latitudes I think. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]
