Cassini creates the first global topographic map of Titan [Published SEN - 11 hours ago]

...together in near-noon, sun-synchronous orbits, leaving vast stretches of each day unmeasured by any low-Earth-orbiting satellites," Wiscombe said. "Yet every Earth scientist knows that the diurnal cycle is extremely important and quite large. The only way to properly observe diurnal cycles is to have every place on Earth visible from one or more functionally identical and calibrated satellites 24/7, and the best way to do this right now is with a low-Earth-orbit constellation. Our experiment is the first step in ultimately realizing this vision."
