The "New World": Fensal Region and more
|
Original caption:"Like an ancient mariner charting the coastline of an unexplored wilderness, Cassini's repeated encounters with Titan are turning a mysterious world into a more familiar place.
During a Titan flyby on Sept. 7, 2005, the spacecraft's narrow-angle camera acquired multiple images that were combined to create the mosaic presented here. Provisional names applied to Titan's features are shown.
The image shows more than half of Titan's Saturn-facing hemisphere at moderate resolution, including the Fensal-Aztlan region, formerly known as "the H." This view is centered at 6,5° North Lat. and 20,6° West Long. and has a pixel scale of approx. 2 Km (about 1 mile) per pixel.
It is an orthographic projection, rotated so that North on Titan is up.
This view is composed of 20 images obtained on Sept. 7, 2005, each processed to enhance surface detail".
