Rev 69 Looking ahead is up!

http://ciclops.org/view/4889/Rev_69

The T44 Flyby highlights include:
  1. ISS of Hotei Arcus
  2. SAR RADAR Swath over Xanadu (Tui Regio) and N Central Shangri La (this is gonna be good!) and S Dilmun
  3. More radiometry and scatterometry (over W Belet?)

So is that dark object in the PIA10956 a dome or a lake with a crusty zone?

RADAR look angle seems to be coming from the NW, as inferred from the reflection pattern of the carved channel (left image).
(steep faces reflect back radar signal and appear bright, or reflect away RADAR signal and appear dark, depending on angle towards or away from RADAR look direction.)

Based on the RADAR look angle and the RADAR brightening on the near margin of the the dark circular feature (right image above), it could be a raised Ganesa-style pancake dome, but on a much smaller scale, or it could be a circular lakebed that dried and has a surrounding slightly RADAR brighter "crusty zone". (With the SW side of the "crusty zone" not visible for some reason)
