I've put together a sequence of images of Hyperion (false colour, from the IR/Green/UV images) from the November 2010 sequence that you guys might appreciate smile.gif.

I've also written an article about the images and Hyperion on my Science blog!

Did you put that together? I'd like to mention/link to it on my blog if I could.


Yes, that's mine: you're more than welcome to use it on your blog. As it happens, I've just produced a slightly better colorized version too:

Great, thanks! I've updated the link on my blog to it as well.

Nice new one of Enceladus over the rings (or maybe the shadow of the rings on Saturn?):

http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/photos/raw/rawi...?imageID=230086

I think something weird going on here (taken with CL1 and CL2):

http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/photos/raw/rawi...?imageID=230114

Compare that with this (same filters):

http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/photos/raw/rawi...?imageID=230116

It looks to me like the first image has more specular reflection (and contrast) in it? Is that just down to different exposure lengths, or is something else going on? Or is it just an illusion?

It is just a different stretch used by the JPL raw images page. The first image has fewer pixels on Enceladus' night side so the black level is set at a higher I/F than in the second image.

Very serious case of deja vu with this image:

http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...5/N00165320.jpg

Doesn't the terminator region look like the well-known corona on Miranda? I think so.

Here's a IR/UV/GRN combo, with the saturation increased, and the gamma decreased:

The small orange splotch that appears half way up, on the far left of the image, appears to be a real feature; it's very prominent in the UV image, and faintly visible in the GRN filter too.

Sorry, that's a flatfield effect. Another dust ring effect or similar.

Gordan,

I stand corrected! wink.gif It was the differing visibility of this feature in the individual filters that threw me: a quick check of several different UV-filtered images confirm that it is indeed an artefact.

In the meantime, here's a four-frame clear filter mosaic:

Great stuff, Ian. I tried to put that one together but couldn't figure out how to deal with Saturn's shifting position. Your cheat is quite elegant!

Hey, look at that, Miranda is hypothesized to have once been in a 3:1 resonance with Umbriel and had more tidal heating.

Good captioned version of the photo here:
