Titan image; Shows liquid??
Does this look like the smallest
rocks/ice chunks are immersed in shallow liquid? http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedi...m?imageID=1301

Reminds me of a tale about someone who, seeing a picture of the Meteor
Crater in Arizona, remarked on how close it hit to that road... "richard schumacher" wrote in message ...

If you want even more of what looks like liquid, check out this!
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/cassini-05m1.html It's a 96 images from the landing site over time. Is that liquid running by?? Looks like the probe landed in a stream! "RichA" wrote in message ...

Stream of what? Dont forget there are 300 mph winds whipping
around there so ripples, things in motion, or a hurricane of stuff in progress. Seems to me I saw the same kinds of images in Florida last year?

300 Mph winds in the upper atmosphere. Only measured around 8 Mph on the
surface. "Julia's Cakes" wrote in message ... Stream of what? Dont forget there are 300 mph winds whipping around there so ripples, things in motion, or a hurricane of stuff in progress.

Looks like the probe landed in a stream! I've been looking at the animation for a while now, and the most 'obvious' stream appears to be the one to the right of the big rock in the middle (*) as it flows towards us (in a 7o'clock direction). Having said that, I'm not actually convinced there is any actual flow (but damn the effect is psychologically convincing). Does anyone know the shutter speed of this camera, BTW? There are bits of paper blowing around that are blurred.  (*) Why dont these rocks have names yet? If they were on Mars, NASA guys would have given them names in a millisecond! To this end, I'm gonna call the big rock just low of the centre "Mr Pointy Head", and the flat rock to the left of the image is "Kipper".

The EU has scheduled a meeting in Brussels next month to draw up a
preliminary list of candidate names for the rocks. A final decree to ESA is expected sometime in 2008. ;-) GD wrote: (*) Why dont these rocks have names yet?

Dont forget there are 300 mph winds whipping around there Are there? The data on the Cassini website says 8 mph winds at Huygens landing site. Am I missing something? jt
