The first of the Rhea images for this flyby are now up on the JPL Raw images page:
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...eiImageID=37899 This image shows the ray system seen in earlier opnav images more clearly than the higher resolution images taken during the last orbit thanks to better illuminator. I have a post on my blog up now on the Icy satellite targets of this flyby, Rhea and Mimas: http://volcanopele.blogspot.com/2005/04/re...te-targets.html The big news is that this flyby should provide our best observations to date of the innermost mid-sized icy satellite. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!

QUOTE (Decepticon @ Apr 15 2005, 01:37 PM) What side of mimas is that? And where is North?  North is to the left, maybe a little to the upper left (~290 degrees). This is the side opposite Herschel. the two prominent craters on the lower left part of the disk are Lancelot (upper) and Gwynevere (lower). EDIT: Scratch that, north is the to top (~341 degrees). read the wrong column... -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

Ok, I know this happened more than a month ago, but I made some cool things with Mimas last flyby images which I want to share...
First, a time lapse sequence: http://img281.echo.cx/img281/2188/mimasflyby200504150xv.gif Then a couple of color images and corresponding enhanced color versions (in ordeer to see possible terrain differences): First one is a true color (RGB filters):   Second one is an "extended color" (IR+G+UV) taken before:   Obviously, colors are only my guess (not radiometrically correct!) Finally, a crossed-eyes stereo view (originated from N00032588+595):
