Since tooting my own horn is apparently my primary role here, I call attention to a new VIMS composite image from T104 that we just released. Here's a version of the image:



This is awesome because we can see the entirety of Kraken in a single shot. The specular reflection is coming from just north of the islands west of the Throat of the Kraken that Ralph Lorenz discussed in his recent paper. You can also see in the noodle to the north the liquid channel connecting Kraken and Ligeia. The Romulan-Warbird-shaped orange thing to the right of the Kraken-Ligeia connection is a cloud over the northeast portion of Ligeia Mare.

It's a beautiful image.
I have tried to orient it to the map found here:

If I am wrong please correct me.

Actual clouds seem to be white if they do not catch the sun, or orange in the case of the War Bird feature.
The darker features all seem to be lakes, although initially I mistook some of them for clouds.

Here's my own annotated version that I guess JPL decided not to release with it. I post it here for your enjoyment It's pretty amazing that every little dim pixel that you see is basically a lake.
