Cassini RADAR swath on Titan, flyby T7, September 7, 2005
Cassini RADAR swath on Titan, flyby T7, September 7, 2005 Cassini acquired about half of the planned RADAR swath on the September 7, 2005 flyby, covering a region from 30 to about 65 degrees south and from 30 through 0 to about 345 degrees west. It contains lots of apparently fluvial features, both incised channels and fanned delta-like structures. At the extreme right of the swath (nearest the summer pole), the mottled terrain suddenly gives way to a very low-backscatter plain. NASA / JPL-Caltech
