Cassini Provides Virtual Flyover of Saturn’s Moon Titan

PASADENA, Calif. — “Fly me to the moon”-to Saturn’s moon Titan, that is. New Titan movies and images are providing a bird’s-eye view of the moon’s Earth-like landscapes.

The new flyover maps show, for the first time, the 3-D topography and height of the 1,200-meter (4,000-foot) mountain tops, the north polar lake country, the vast dunes more than 100 meters (300 feet) high that crisscross the moon, and the thick flows that may have oozed from possible ice volcanoes.

The topographic maps were made from stereo pairs of radar images. They are available at: http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov and http://www.nasa.gov/cassini.
