Titan-MF-EB-PCF-LXTT-IPF.jpgLakeland (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Elisabetta Bonora and Marco Faccin/LXTT/IPF)127 visiteUn esempio di come cambia la "visione" di un Mondo, quando si passa dai Colori Naturali (ossia i colori di un Corpo Celeste visti attraverso "Occhi Elettronici") ai Colori Naturali Assoluti (ossia i colori di un Corpo Celeste visti attraverso "Occhi Umani Medi"). Si noti, per Diritto ai Crediti e per Onestà Intellettuale, che la dizione "Colori Naturali Assoluti" è il prodotto di una tecnica di colorizzazione delle immagini totalmente basata sull'impiego di "Luci Virtuali", è un prodotto "Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation" e, per quanto attiene il suo "merito", poggia su assunzioni che, sebbene razionali e scientificamente accettabili (visione media, percezione dei colori media e percezione della luminosità media nell'occhio umano), nei fatti potrebbero rivelarsi errate. Questo solo per dire che noi NON pretendiamo di avere la Verità fra le mani, ma applichiamo un Approccio Razionale nella ricerca della Verità stessa.8 commentiMareKromium01/31/14 at 21:03paolocf1963: Grazie Anakin, di Cuore!

Titan-Lakes-Ontario_Lacus-00-PIA13172.jpgOntario Lacus69 visiteThis image of Ontario Lacus, the largest lake on the Southern Hemisphere of Saturn's moon Titan, was obtained by NASA's Cassini Spacecraft on Jan. 12, 2010.
North is up in this image. Objects appear bright in this radar image when they are tilted toward the Spacecraft or have rough surfaces. The lake surface appears dark because it is smooth. The Northern Shoreline features flooded River Valleys and Hills as high as about 1 Km (3000 feet).
A smooth, wave-sculpted Shoreline, like that seen on the S/Eastern side of Lake Michigan, can here be seen on the N/Eastern side of the lake.
Smooth lines parallel to the current shoreline could be formed by low waves over time, which were likely driven by winds sweeping in from the West or South-West.
The S/Eastern shore features a round-headed Bay intruding into the shore. The liquid-filled depressions appear to be relatively recent.

The middle part of the Western Shoreline shows the first well-developed Delta observed on Titan. The shape of the Delta shows that liquid flowing down from a higher plain has switched Channels on its way into the Lake, forming at least two lobes. Examples of this kind of Channel switching and wave-modified deltas can be found on Earth at the Southern end of Lake Albert between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa and the remains of an ancient lake known as Megachad in the African country Chad.

Titan is the only other world in our Solar System known to have standing bodies of liquid on its Surface. Because Surface temperatures at the Poles average a chilly 90 Kelvin (about minus 300 degrees Fahrenheit), the liquid is a combination of Methane, Ethane and Propane, rather than water.

Ontario Lacus has a surface area of about 15.000 square Km (approx. 6000 square miles), slightly smaller than its terrestrial namesake, Lake Ontario.1 commentiMareKromium05/24/13 at 16:58paolocf1963: PAZZESCO! Andate qui http : // photojournal. jpl. ...

Titan-Regions-Fensal_and_Senkyo_Regions-PIA12655-PCF-LXTT.jpgAztlan, Fensal and Senkyo Region (Absolute Natural Colors; credits: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)55 visiteCaption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft looks toward the dark Senkyo Region on Saturn's moon Titan.
Senkyo is the Dark Region towards the right. Two other Dark Regions, Aztlan (to the left, slanting down below the Equator) and Fensal (left, North of Aztlan), are also shown here.
The bright area below Aztlan is called Tsegihi. This view looks toward the Saturn-facing Side of Titan. North on Titan is up and rotated 9° to the left.

The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 8, 2010 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of Near-InfraRed Light centered at 938 nanometers. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 2,1 MKM (about 1,3 MMs) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 33°.
Image scale is roughly 12 Km (a little more than 7 miles) per pixel".6 commentiMareKromium11/18/12 at 09:21Anakin: Grazie. Ma ritengo che dopo tanti anni non ci sia ...
