Late last week Cassini made another close flyby of Titan (its ninth) as it continues to orbit Saturn. Titan is the only moon in our solar system that has clouds - so top men at JPL have been using radar to image through the clouds. (This flyby is also interesting because they aimed the radar imager at the Huygens landing site - to get a better idea of where it landed.)
They took a few days to process, but the images have just been released. Top Men at Wohba enhanced a couple of the raw radar images. (A Wohba exclusive!)
Enhanced Image 1 (raw image)
Enhanced Image 2 (raw image)
UPDATE: Here's a movie that illustrates precisely where the radar was aimed.
