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, 11°North, 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".
