Is that real? Brian, I have trouble seeing what you mean in the normal-size image. When I zoom 200%, I think I can see what you mean; but I also see what looks like a lot of image artifacts. I think I need to see what the pros can do with image enhancement. -- Tom McDonald http://ahwhatdoiknow.blogspot.com/ |

I think I need to see what the pros can do with image enhancement. That will be interesting!

wrote: Good point. At these temperatures, 250F below or 100C below or so, water acts like a rock. No liquid water here. They may be silicate rocks or something similar, but the rest of the moons of Saturn are ice covered if not made up mostly of ice, so it's not unreasonable to think the surface of Titan is predominately ices of some sort. The preliminary view of the imaging team is that they might be ice blocks. Anyone remember reading a scifi (can't remember the name, maybe "Triton") where they used the ice as a building material because it was so solid, on Triton? -Rich |

The rocks have been scoured and worn away. How can you be so sure they're rocks? Keep an open mind. You think maybe they're eggs? -- Brien |
