Cassie 3D and Titan Flyover

What could be better than pictures from an alien world? How about interactive 3d and a virtual flyover? NASA’s Cassini continues to return remarkable photos from Saturn and its moons. NASA’s JPL has cooperated with the US Geological Survey to create topographical flyover maps of Titan. And by the way, if you haven’t tried out Cassie 3D, the Cassini Virtual Tour, it’s worth taking the time to download the extra software. My recommendation: select moon mode to access the latest information and detailed 3d imagery for 7 of Saturn’s moons and visit Iapetus - the moon with a “seam”.

Folllowing a seven-year voyage, Cassini entered Saturn’s orbit in 2004. With it’s mysterious rings and 34 moons, Saturn is rich with opportunity for study. In 2005, the Huygens probe entered the atmosphere of Titan - the first-ever visit to a moon with an atmosphere. The images and data from this mission are incredible, raising as many new questions as answers about the nature of our solar system.
