Using these updated statistics, I show how the heliocentric cratering model leads to a dramatic increase in relative crater density for Mimas, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, and Iapetus with distance from Saturn. Under this model, the surface age of Titan is probably older than the cratered plains of ...
major planet - (astronomy) any of the nine large celestial bodies in the solar system that revolve around the sun and shine by reflected light; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in order of their proximity to the sun; viewed from the constellation He...
NASA provides incredible images of all of these planet's surface features, or in the case of Venus, the thick atmosphere that surrounds it. Mercury has an appearance very similar to the Earth's moon, pockmarked with craters. Venus is shrouded in clouds and dense gas; this thick skin creates...
Contact surface A surface separating two flows of different chemical and/or flow properties. Comet showers The infrequent injection of a large number of new comets into the inner solar system by passing stars at close encounters with the solar system. CONTOUR An American space mission to perform ...

To stack the video streams, the most commonly used free software is AutoStakkert. At the time of writing, the latest version of AutoStakkert is ver 4.0.11.. AstroSurface (free) is an all-in-one stacking, sharpening and processing app. To sharpen and process the stacked images, there ar...
(DVB/CAR/PDMS) 50/30 mm, were tested; for each sorbent, a multivariate design of experiments coupled with surface-response methodology was applied to model the mutual influence of the sample temperature, the exposure time of the fiber to the headspace, and the NaCl concentration added to the...
This is really much more detail than expected for a one point alignment with 3000 frames. Can just make out some surface on Ganymede (upper right). Can get more detail out with stronger sharpening but prefer the more muted look. 6 inch RC, 678MC with F/px=6. ...
Can humans live on Saturn? As a gas giant planet, humans would have no solid surface to stand upon and can therefore not live on Saturn. It is possible that they could live upon one of Saturn's moons that has a solid surface, but the complication is those moons do not have a breatha...
To reliably advance in studies of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, we need previously a solid understanding of our own planetary neighborhood. In this chapter, we will give a general overview of the internal structure, composition, surface features, and geologic units of the four terrestrial ...
