Titan-Regions-Belet_Region-PIA12647.jpgBelet Region (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)136 visiteCaption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft peers through the Atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, to examine the Dark Region known as "Belet".
This large Region has a low albedo, meaning it reflects little light.
See also PIA11149 to learn more. This view looks toward the Trailing Hemisphere of Titan.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Dec. 28, 2009 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of Near-InfraRed Light centered at 938 nanometers. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 282.000 Km (about 175.000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 45°.
Image scale is roughly 2 Km (a little more than 1 mile) per pixel".MareKromiumGiu 04, 2010

Titan-PIA12642.jpgAtmospheric Unconformity (possible True Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)114 visiteCaption NASA:"In this stunning image, the Cassini spacecraft looks at the dark side of Saturn's largest moon. The narrowing circle of light surrounding Titan is produced by Sunlight scattering through Titan's Atmosphere.
A detached, high-altitude Global Haze layer encircles Titan. North on Titan is up and rotated 10° to the right.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 16, 2010 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of UltraViolet Light centered at 338 nanometers. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 1,9 MKM (about 1,2 MMs) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 158°.
Image scale is roughly 11 Km (a little less than 7 miles) per pixel".MareKromiumGiu 01, 2010

Titan-N00154035-47-EB-LXTT.jpgCosmic Smile (Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Elisabetta Bonora - Lunexit Team)85 visiteElisabetta Bonora - al pari di Big "G" e Titanio 44 - fa Lavori eccezionali da tempo. Purtroppo, però, alla NASA questi Lavori non piacciono.
Forse perchè facciamo concorrenza ai loro "favoriti"; o forse perchè sono Lavori che dimostrano il possesso di conoscenze e capacità che non sono (più) una pertinenza esclusiva dei ragazzi di Pasadena... O forse perchè noi facciamo il nostro lavoro senza per questo essere dei "brown-nosers".
Quale che sia la verità, questo Lavoro è splendido e, a nostro parere, è pure (ed in Valore Assoluto) un Lavoro tecnicamente e scientificamente ineccepibile.
Se volessimo essere super-pignoli, allora potremmo suggerire che la luminosità della falce visibile di Titano è eccessiva e che quindi quanto si vede qui non è esattamente quello che vedremmo se ci trovassimo in loco. Ma queste sono minuzie...
Certo, qualche Fenomeno pronto a criticare tutto quello che facciamo lo troveremo sempre (soprattutto nel Bel Paese, dove tutti - specie gli anonimi detrattori - sono saggi, acculturati ed intelligenti...) ma questo è normale.
D'altronde, si sa e già lo dissero svariati Autori ed Attori, da Marziale a Vittorio Gassmann:"...coloro che non hanno la capacità di creare, criticano. E così fanno perchè, blaterando e scribacchiando nel tentativo di rendere misera la vita altrui, pensano e si illudono di alleviare e rendere sopportabile la loro stessa miseria...".MareKromiumMag 21, 2010

Titan-Regions-Belet_Region-PIA12615.jpgBelet Region56 visiteCaption NASA:"The Cassini spacecraft looks at Belet, a Dark Region on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. This large Region on Titan has a low albedo, meaning that it diffusely reflects little light.
This view looks toward the Trailing Hemisphere of Titan. North on Titan is up and rotated 2° to the right.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Jan. 15, 2010 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of Near-iInfraRed Light centered at 938 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 1,2 MKM (such as about 746.000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 51°.
Image scale is roughly 7 Km (about 4,5 miles) per pixel".MareKromiumMag 02, 2010

Titan-Regions-Adiri_Region-PIA12621.jpgAdiri Region55 visiteCaption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft peers through Titan's Atmosphere over the Region called Adiri, West of the Landing Site of the Huygens probe on the anti-Saturn side of the moon. This view is centered on Terrain at 22° South Latitude and 209° West Longitude. North on Titan is up and rotated 36° to the right.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Dec. 12, 2009 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of Near-InfraRed Light centered at 938 nanometers.
The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 130.000 Km (about 81.000 miles) from Titan.
Image scale is about 766 meters (2513 feet) per pixel".MareKromiumMag 02, 2010

Titan-PIA12843.jpgWhat's inside Titan?55 visiteCaption NASA:"This artist's illustration shows the likely interior structure of Saturn's moon Titan, as deduced from gravity field data collected by the Cassini Spacecraft. The investigation by Cassini's radio science team suggests that Titan's interior is a cool mix of ice studded with rock, though the outermost 500 Km (approx. 300 miles) appear to be ice essentially devoid of any rock.
Many planets and moons, including the Earth, evolve into a body with a clearly distinct rocky core. This radio science investigation suggests Titan's interior, cool and sluggish, failed to allow the interior to separate into completely differentiated layers of ice and rock.
In addition to the Hazy Surface of Titan (yellow), the layers in the cutaway show an ice layer starting near the Surface (light gray), an internal ocean hypothesized from other Cassini data (blue), another layer of ice (light gray) and the mix of rock and ice in the interior (dark gray). In the background are the Cassini Spacecraft and Saturn, not to scale".MareKromiumApr 05, 2010
