As an early Christmas gift, CICLOPS and the Imaging team are pleased to announce the release of a number of Cassini images and maps as part of "Spectacular Sights from 10 AU" (though one is from near 5 AU wink.gif
First up is a series of maps of the icy satellites of Saturn (Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Iapetus, and Phoebe). These maps incorporate much of the new data taken over the last few months at these mostly interesting (though some dead and boring) worlds. Note however, that the Rhea data from last month's encounter has not yet been incorporated into the basemap.

Rhea basemap
Dione basemap
Tethys basemap
Enceladus basemap
Mimas basemap
Iapetus basemap
Phoebe basemap

But that's not all! Also included in this release are some great images of Saturn and Titan in color and a movie of Rhea and Dione.

Enjoy!
