I have been using the solar system simulator alot on the July 23 Tethys encounter and from what I see, Cassini will be able to image all of the remaining bits of Tethys' south polar region that until has been poorly imaged.
Is this true? -------------------- I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed.

Odysseus is clearly visible in the following image to the right, but angle is severe and contrast poor.
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...eiImageID=79861 In this one, the angle is even worse and the basin is virtually invisible, but if you look carefully on the right limb, you can just make out the basin rim in profile and a hint of the central peak. You can clearly see how the basin floor has relaxed under gravity and now matches the curvature of the moon. A hypothetical traveller standing on the central peak would see nothing of the basin rim and could be mistaken for thinking he was on an isolated cluster of low hills. http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/ics_gs/...0064161_mod.jpg Odysseus was always my favorite Saturnian basin. Its sheer size certainly made an impression when I first saw the Voyager images in 1980/81. |
