(Since we have Jovian for the Jupiter system, I'm assuming Hermean, Venerian, Arean and Chronian are the proper adjectives for the rest of the planets. I think, though, that "Poseidian" is a bit much and "Uranus" is basically the same word in Greek and Latin [Ouranos vs. Uranus.] Even "Venerian" isn't entirely correct, but it's either that or "Aphroditan. blink.gif )


As you may have guessed, my interest in planetary maps has peaked again, and I think it's time to update all my Voyager-sourced maps. The question is, should I buy the latest USGS maps of Mimas, Iapetus, Enceladus, Dione, etc. or are new maps coming anytime soon?

You are probably looking for shape models/DEMs. Several of Saturn's satellites can be found here:

Very intriguing! And easy to implement in POV-Ray - no conversion from geographic into cartesian coordiates but ready-made vertex and face lists! Cool!!!

See you in Khyberspace!
