CICLOPS' Rev 49 Looking Ahead page is up. Highlights include a fourth monthy Voyager-class encounter with Tethys with 500m resolution over Odysseus (finally!)
Detailed mosaics of Rhea's prominent ray crater and points west are on tap for Old Scabby's second closeup. This should be a really cool periapsis passage to tide us over until the 10th of September. -------------------- ...if you don't like my melody, i'll sing it in a major key, i'll sing it very happily. heavens! everybody's all aboard? let's take it back to that minor chord...

Sorry for the confusion, you guys; let me try posting a clarification. If this works, I'm talking about the circled area, though the "dark spot" may be a semi-shadowed crater; the phase angle's pretty high:

Sorry for the confusion, you guys; let me try posting a clarification. If this works, I'm talking about the circled area, though the "dark spot" may be a semi-shadowed crater; the phase angle's pretty high: Maybe if you drew an arrow to the features, that would help. All I see are craters. And more craters. What is interesting, at least to me, is the lighter-toned substrate exposed by impact gardening and/or downslope movement on crater walls. We've see this on other satellites. |
