QUOTE (volcanopele @ Apr 23 2007, 08:56 PM)  Actually, they don't. None of the views shown in that movie show the T28 SAR swath. My apologies.... I see that now ... looking at this link from a previous thread... http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...ost&id=9749 I was misled by the island being cut off in this video release. Too bad.... assume many of the researchers may have been present at the EGU last week and so the total lack of updates.... or am I getting spoiled? I remember, in the pre web days, having to wait months for formal publication of ANY results beyond the candy pieces released to the t.v. and print press. You younger folk have NO idea. Craig |

Maybe they are waiting for the results from the latest April 26th radar pass before releasing anything from the previous April 11th flyby?

I've been working on something similar with other fly-by images for use in one of my talks, too... gets its premiere today in Keswick... again, not scienifically that accurate (or useful!) in any way, I know, I just like showing people Out There just how amazing Titan is...

Nice work, Stu...thanks for the new desktop!

Very nice new mosaic:

There's a nice dancing monkey there SE of the rivers. Makes for a good background.
Have we seen areas like this before on Titan?

Have we seen areas like this before on Titan?It looks kinda like areas seen in the T-20 Flyby and written up by VP: LPS 2007 abstract here. (Real pretty map on 2nd page). They were interpreted as "extensional terrain, with bright horsts and grabens filled in with dark material". Also, Shiwanni Virgae (S of Aztlan) and Percunas Virgae (S of Shangri-La) are also similar. (At low resolution, if you rotate Percunas Virgae 10 degrees clockwise it is almost indistinguishable from Shiwanni Virgae). I would bet that the local highest sea (lake?) level was just right so that all the details in the fractures in this area were nicely brought out by the bright/dark boundary. I'd also bet that when RADAR images become available of the "dancing monkey" feature that there will be huge areas of Titan that look similar. (Many of these areas are not noticed by ISS imaging due to a thin layer of bright material that obscures the topographical contrast). More RADAR data will be cool! -Mike -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

NICE. Those faux "tiger stripes" are very interesting. And the spaghetti terrain.... almost looks like this area is being compressed to the northeast.... I know this is a REALLY kooky analogy, but for those os us who live in northern climes, ever see ice buildup on a car windshield and then watch how the ice sheets break up and flow when heat is delivered? Same fractal behaviour..... seeing the lighter terrain reminds me of that.... almost as if sheets of ice are being sculpted and pushed against each by wind and tectonics as some elements melt under a methane drizzle. I know I am not expressing this very well.... and I am not suggesting we are looking at a cosmic windshield.. Craig |
