Another flyby coming soon. Interesting observations include radar swath of Huygens landing site.

Just before CA. http://space.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/wspace?t...porbs=1&brite=1

I really missed VP encounter updates So I tried my best at showing the Hemisphere to be imaged during the flyby.

OK, what the heck is going on with the longitudes in these maps?

Maybe it's too early in the morning for me to be thinking hard but I think there are errors in the longitudes on both the imaging coverage and the RADAR maps. Can somebody please check and tell me if I'm right about that?

I think the imaging coverage map is centered at 180 degrees, but it is labeled as 0 degrees.

I think that the third RADAR globe, the one that shows the T8 swath, has a "120" where it should have a "240."

Am I crazy? They switch their convention all the time, using 180 sometimes and 0 sometimes as the center longitude, but I don't think I've noticed errors before.

You're definitely right. Look at Photojournal. The Radar releases and the T8 preview maps are almost consecutive image listings. Xanadu and Mezzoramia are clearly seen on both maps, and it looks like they either goofed the Radar map by 180 degrees, or maybe made even more serious goofs. Hope they rectify this and withdraw the mislabeled images.
