Absolutely great video, being a scientific type enjoying the wonder of American technology, we need more of an understanding about where we Humans live.

Especially to understand that simple notion of water that we take for granite is actually very scarce in the solar system.

The NASA website has some tutorials however my studies search the Internet for Image processing techniques such as that pictured in the video.

The Mathematics called Matrix Transformations Fourier transforms in electronic engineering make that imagery possible. I know its asking a lot however, young men and women should know how these systems work before they leave high school.

It’s not easy to find a simple way electronics changes an image that can be translated and sent so well for such distances. It’s incredible and our science community should be proud and NASA should share it. It’s our tax money…isn’t it…

Any shots of Jupiter from Titan's surface? Correction: Saturn leveymg Jan 2015 #17

That seems unlikely -- but Saturn should look impressive, if the haze doesn't obscure it. nt eppur_se_muova Jan 2015 #20

Oops. Glad someone was paying attention. leveymg Jan 2015 #23

Most of the satellites, except for a few very small "shepherd moons", are very far out. eppur_se_muova Jan 2015 #25

Interesting. Didn't realize Saturn was so much less dense than Jupiter. leveymg Jan 2015 #27

Saturn is the only planet that would float like a boat. :) nt eppur_se_muova Jan 2015 #28

It would make a cool pool toy. leveymg Jan 2015 #29
