Titan's most prominent Impact Crater
|
Caption NASA originale:"This 3-panel image shows one of Titan's most prominent impact craters in an infrared-wavelength image (left), radar image (center) and in the false-color image (right). The Cassini radar imaged this crater during Cassini's 3rd flyby of Titan, on Feb. 15, 2005. The Crater, located at 16 West, 11North, is about 80 Km in diameter and is surrounded beyond that by a blanket of material thrown out of the crater during impact. In radar, brighter surfaces mean rougher terrains, or else terrains tilted toward the radar. The Crater has a dark floor and a small bright area in the center and it is surrounded by bright material, which has a very faint halo slightly darker than the surrounding dark material".
