The latest in the poster series includes global perspectives of Dione up through the late April pass. Note the very similar views in the upper right, taken 6 June and 2 August 2005 respectively. DEMs of this hemisphere have already been produced. Natural color images (last in top row and first in 2nd row) by ugordan.

Unfortunately, the ones available on the web are all of the color-coded variety for the time being. I've attempted to round them up here for one stop shopping...even with the low resolutions they are very instructive. The depth of the "snowman" crater complex on Iapetus is impressive.
EDIT: Elevation scales on top center models corrected to +/- 5km -------------------- ...if you don't like my melody, i'll sing it in a major key, i'll sing it very happily. heavens! everybody's all aboard? let's take it back to that minor chord...

QUOTE (Exploitcorporations @ May 23 2007, 07:47 PM)  The depth of the "snowman" crater complex on Iapetus is impressive. Dione has a couple of pretty deep ones, too, which is perhaps not too surprising given the existence of the canyons. What's weird from EC's comparative montage is how very different Iapetus is in "texture" with respect to the other icy moons. Iapetus overall looks sort of like a partially melted/rapidly cooled ball of wax... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

QUOTE (nprev @ May 25 2007, 01:05 PM) .... Iapetus overall looks sort of like a partially melted/rapidly cooled ball of wax... Yes, of course.
Snowman B and C look like imprints in sludge. There seems to be no bowl shaped crater bottom inside them... like they were filled up and faltened with some kind of partially melted/rapidly cooled material. There isn't even a rim visible between B and C like the rim between A and B. A final interpretation due to low resolution is difficult - and a close fly-by by CASSINI over the 'Snowman' will most probably not happen. Maybe september's saturnshine images will give some more infos - but certainly with low contrast! Bye. |
