Volcanopele's excellent blog site has a link to some extraordinary mosaics of the surface of Titan. Thought i'd bring them to the attnetion of the rest of the forum in case they haven't seen Volcanopele's blog site yet.

I wonder if they will ever recover any of the missing images from groundbased tracking. That would be longshot, but it sure would be cool.

Unfortunately, by the time the signal reached Earth, the signal was way too weak to get any data.

I wonder if they might be able to drag something out of it given time and processing. I'm assuming it's totally impossible, but then, 7 years ago it was assumed to be totally impossible to get any signal at all

Certainly this is one of the best panoramas available. The stiching on the higher resolution shots close in isn't as good, but the great surface coverage is more than enough to make up for that. I am right now in the process of lineing up this mosaic with my mosaic of the landing site region to both see where we are and to assess our images compared to ground truth.

Whats also nice about it is that the surface features do seem to match up with the image obtained by Cassini of the area.

I'd like to see panaramas with the ground track of Huygens over the surface marked.

When will we see the 'definitive' Huygens mosaics from ESA?
