Can anyone suggest instances where reprocessed and reinterpreted Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 data have yielded new scientific insight?
I have the following so far: Phil Stooke's reprocessed images of saturn's moons. Phil Stooke's reprocessing of Ariel Uranus-shine images. Titan's surface visible in reprocessed orange filter Voyager 1 images. The discovery of Perdita (1986U10) in 1999 using Voyager 2 Uranus data. Does anyone know of any more? -------------------- It's a funny old world - A man's lucky if he gets out of it alive. - W.C. Fields.

It's the real deal all right - a mosaic of 10 Voyager frames:
QUOTE The image shows Uranus with its ring system and the 10 innermost satellites. All but S/1986 U 10 were known at the time the image was taken, based on Voyager images taken in January 1986. Arrows at the edge of the image point to the 10 satellites. The other dots of light are background stars of the constellation Sagittarius. (If you know enough astronomy to want to look this up on a star chart, the bright star next to Juliet is Kaus Borealis, Lambda Sagittarii.) ... The new discovery image is a mosaic of 10 exposures, Karkoschka said. The exposures of Uranus had shorter exposure times than the exposures of the surrounding area containing the rings and satellites. Since Uranus is a million times brighter than its satellites, Karkoschka retained the darker planet image so the satellites would be visible. ... The colors in the image are close to realistic, he added. http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/text/...pr_19990518.txt -------------------- |
