Greetings,

I was wondering if anyone else in this forum attended the AGU conference in San Francisco this past week? I made it to some of the Titan talks so here are a couple of tidbits for the time being.

The VIMS team reported on repeated passes with imaging over the same area and how the brightness changes with phase angle for several terrain types. The punchline (I had actually left before they mentioned in detail) is that one area showed variations even at the same phase angle implying some type of surface or cloud change between flybys. You can see the abstract by Googling for AGU VIMS Titan and look at the final talk #5.

On another note Larry Soderblom mentioned how the Huygens landing site was pinned down by aid of sighting the cat scratches in the outer Huygens frames. He cited Jason Perry in discussing that finding.
