[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.

In the old days, (Mariner 69 was the first instance for me) I remember watching all the US and Canadian news casts hoping they'd cover a flyby. If lucky, they did. Then I went through the newspapers, then rushing to the stores on the following Wednesday to pick up Time and Newsweek. Finally, about 6 weeks later, Sky & Telescope (and briefly Star & Sky - remember that one?) would have the best pictures.
How times have changed! Having them almost live, and then having you guys doing absolute amazing stuff has given me a front seat. Life doesn't get much better. Thanks! |
