Nov. 2005 - 416,000 km - 2.5 km/pixel - eastern and central Cassini Region, northern bright terrain
http://space.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/wspace?t...porbs=1&brite=1 QUOTE Buy this weekend (Nov 4,05) we will be getting some great views of Iapetus. Comparable to these images. http://ciclops.org/view.php?id=624 And buy Nov 11 will be within 417,000 km I can't wait to see these images. I hope we get some approch images soon.

I keep looking at the best available images of the big crater right at the end of Cassini Regio to see if I can see Arthur C. Clarke's black monolith standing there.....
(Note: Go back and read the book "2001, A Space Odyssey"....... The Stargate Monolith is on Iapetus, not orbiting Jupiter... In the middle of a bulls-eye target crater) ;-) |

Dare I suggest we ask the Cassini team for a closer look at Iapetus' large crater? 
-------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

In a few days (Nov. 12 @14:36 UTC) Cassini will come close enough (~416,000) to fill over half a NAC frame with Iapetus--although said crater will be in shadow:  The above uses Steve Albers' map. The science plan says they're going to be taking NAC shots of Iapetus up to 05:41 UTC: VIMS_017IA_IAPETUS006_PRIME -------------------- |

[/quote] Figures, the expected view is 180 degrees around from what I want to look at. I appreciate the humor in this. And am still happy to have more Iapetus pictures. I just think the source crater for the emplaced ring material is on the other side. Should be good pictures, though, Voyager never exceeded half a NA frame on Iapetus, did it? |
