Very Cool Titan Surface Image

[kaisern]

Hi, everyone:<br /><br />I found this while surfing, and I wanted to share it with the rest of the community. Really beautiful generated image of Titan's surface. Not sure how it was generated, but it's incredible anyway.<br /><br />Check it out: <br /><br />http://www.geocities.com/falkyr11/Titan_Surface.html

Pretty fascinating. Too bad Huygens couldn't stick around longer to see a sunrise on Titan.

Yeah...there's all kinds of detail in it. If you right click it and save it to your computer, you can view the image in its full size.

The processes which are becoming evident on Titan are amazing! The evidence for the equivalent of an hydrologic cycle except with methane; water and ammonia volcanoes, methane rain, hydrocarbon sedimentary deposits, and water ice rounded pebbles from fluvial erosion and deposition. <br /><br />Suppose that this does represent something similar to earth's primoridial atmosphere cryogenically preserved? <br />Think also about the earth-equivalent lithological cycle with giant ice rafts as the crustal plates. <br /><br />The implications are astounding! <br />JR <br /><br />
