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. |

Ahh,
there they are...  Here two takeouts, ~3x enlarged:
Distance: 2,258,272 km Filters: BL1 and CL2
Distance: 2,258,232 km Filters: UV1 and CL2 The trailing-side basin must have been a really big hit. Interesting is also huge step/rim in the north polar region. Is there a hidden basin? A tectonic fracture? Or what else? Curious to see the moons almost bright side, doesn't look like Iapetus...  Bye. |

QUOTE (TritonAntares @ Apr 16 2007, 09:41 AM)  Interesting is also huge step/rim in the north polar region. Is there a hidden basin? A tectonic fracture? Or what else? I noticed that too. I think it's probably a topographic feature that looks brighter than the surrounding area because it is tilted towards the Sun. We saw this kind of thing in the south polar region last year. |

QUOTE (Rob Pinnegar @ Apr 16 2007, 04:58 PM) I noticed that too. I think it's probably a topographic feature that looks brighter than the surrounding area because it is tilted towards the Sun. I remember such a structure from this saturnshine image:We saw this kind of thing in the south polar region last year.
Date: 2004-10-22 Distance: ~1.6 million km Could be the same or a different one... I'm not quite sure, wasn't this region observed during the Newyear's flyby 2005? There were some saturnshine images... |
