Glad to see that the ring propellers are getting more scrutiny this rev. Those things are intriguing; wonder how long-lived they can really be.

600 miles... that's close. I'm looking forward to this one.
What is the deal with "ring propellers"? That link says they're voids in the ring; so why are they called propellers? |

The name propeller is a reference to the shape of the voids, which often look like the propellers of an airplane like a Cessna.

Just one from a real feast of new images:

They likely JUST got the data this morning. Give them time to process it, turn it into an image we all can see.

QUOTE (ngunn @ Jul 10 2009, 08:45 AM)  A real feast of new images I look forward to seeing what people do with them when I get back from a short holiday. Indeed!! Two interesting ones (including N00138509 the one you highlighted with the clouds) and N00138393 (a narrow angle shot of the possible mountain range) are featured in the animation below. The sequence ends with the beautiful VIMS imagery of the region. ? will SAR suggest mountains or not ?

Are they likely to release the image when it's processed?
I thought SAR on T58 would be one of the highlights of ALL the Titan flybys... |

These things are unpredictable... sometimes it just has to be released right away, other times it might be saved for an upcoming conference presentation or other special event. Meanwhile there are things happening all oer the solar system to keep us busy!

Based on the most recent CHARM presentations http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/video/products/...aProductsCharm/ SAR imaging of the possible mountain ranges discussed in my post # 11 above may not happen in the extended mission.
The planned radar passes are shown on the Titan map and appear to miss the location of the presumed mountain range (except for a small swath whose label I can't quite make out). The presentations above can be viewed as pdf files and they are excellent summaries of the mission discoveries to date and the mission objectives for the current extended mission. |
