Some time ago, I posted processed versions of the famous Huygens post-landing image, with improved details and simulated colors.
Now, in order to celebrate anniversary of this great landing, I made a digital terrain model and re-projected image on it: Crossed eyes:
I made also a rotating animation to better show the 3D model:
(I know real hue can differs from my arbitrary choice, I can easily change it)... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Those are the best views of the surface I have ever seen!

Most cool; especially the animated gif - but we should bear in mind these are interpretations, right? I don't think we have L/R images to get a true stereoscopic view to create a true terrain model, nor can we really see "behind" rocks of course.
But nevertheless, a real "wow!" Airbag |

No, Airbag, we don't have stereoscopic infos... I based 3D model on rocks distances/dimensions infos from ESA, adding a slight terrain depression between the two rocky fields (i would like to image an ancient flood bed here
 ...).I do not know if someone noticed/posted it, but one of these stereograms was just published on Planetary Society site (thanks Emily!) http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00000352 Moreover, it seems that ESA had similar idea, with extended "fantasy" panorama! http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Cassini-Huygen...VB6MZCIE_0.html -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Maybe .MOV , .MPG , .AVI or whatever movie file... BTW dilo your images are really great!!!

Did the probe perhaps slide across that area, smushing them under the slush? 
-------------------- "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 |

Hey, in my understanding, the ESA image/video is only a SIMULATION! we do not knows anything about real rocks distribution outside original image fiel of view... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

A beautiful piece of work indeed!  Nico -------------------- photographer, space imagery enthusiast, proud father and partner, and geek.
