visual and infrared mapping spectrometer, Saturday, July 3, 2004,
show its southern hemisphere. The different colors in the images
are due to different wavelengths of light. The left image shows,
in the darker regions possibly relatively pure water ice, while the
brighter regions likely have a much higher amount of non-ice materials
such as simple hydrocarbons. The middle image shows a very dark surface
almost everywhere, as expected for a surface of water ice and
simple hydrocarbons. The image on the right is similar to the left image,
indicating dark icy regions and brighter hydrocarbon-rich materials.
A bright cloud of methane particles is apparent in all three images
near the south pole.

=========== Titan ===========
Titan's south polar region acquired as Cassini passed
by at a range of 210,600 miles on July 2, 2004
and released July 3, were acquired through special filters
designed to see through the thick haze and atmosphere.
The surface features become more blurry toward the limb,
where the light reflected off the surface must pass through more
atmosphere before reaching the camera. The bright spots near the
bottom represent a field of clouds near the south pole.
There are many strange dark and bright patterns on Titan's surface -
linear, sinuous and circular - whose origins are not yet understood.
The smallest features detected on the surface are about 6 miles wide.

Thanks for keeping up the great work Dio!
I'd like everyone who reads this to consider just how much better off America would be if the REAL news (such as what Dio writes) were to be reported every day instead of what the liberal press puts out.
I'm sure glad that Diogenesis takes the time to get this reality out to us, at least.
Ping!!!
Once again, you've outdone yourself. Those pictures are excellent.
