New Titan Crater as of 09-10-06!
35km Crater with a central peak, dark floor, and ejecta. Probably the youngest of the 3 known Titan craters. Announcement coming from JPL later this week. The other 2 Craters: Menrva = 450km, multiple rings Sinlap = 80km x 50km with flat floor -- Kevin Heider |

An image of the crater has been released:
http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA08737 Obviously, this looks like a relatively young crater, with clearly defined central peak and ejecta structures. You can also see that the crater floor immediately adjacent to the rim is rough, indicating mass wasting along the crater wall. The RADAR team has also released another segment showing dunes in central Fensal wrapping around topographically higher bright features. Still trying to see if ISS has any good images of these features. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA08738 -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!
