[Moderator's note: This thread contains images from the Iapetus 2007-09-10 flyby and discussion of them. It was created by splitting this thread which contains pre-flyby discussion]
Another CL-UV3-GRN-IR1 set was posted today, though Iapetus seems to have been hiding from the green and IR filters...here's my best effort at making something from the CL and UV3 images. Lots of topography on the limb! --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Excellent work on the images sent back so far, well done everyone! Anyone else just want to go to bed right now and wake up when the close-ups are in?
Speaking of which, based on what we've seen today, and the detail we've seen on this part of the Great Wall (HATE "Belly Band", sorry!) has anyone out there an idea just what the images of the Voyager Mountains will actually show? Will we see peaks glinting in the sunlight? More avalanche features? Just curious because I'm giving a talk to an astro society in Carlisle on Thursday night, and although it was meant to be just about Titan I'm making space to feature Iapetus fly-by images too... Even if no-one has any actual predictions, what would you like to see on those images of the mountains? -------------------- |
