Saturn's rings on Jan. 8, 2015

Lena isithombe esiyinhlanganisela wadala kusuka images ezintathu Cassini ethumba uJan. 8, 2015. Cassini kwaba cishe 581,474 miles (935,791 amakhilomitha) kusukela Saturn ngesikhathi izithombe zathathwa.

A inkanyezi noma omunye izinyanga Saturn sika ufaneleka eduze ring F ohlangothini lefthand.

Izithombe kusetshenzwe ngendlela ehlukile kokujwayelekile futhi umphumela wokugcina okusekelwe efanayo izithombe umbala kusuka In Rings Saturn sika (screenshot).

Cassini ubona hydrocarbon sunny ubona on Titan

By

Njengoba lenyuka esidlule moon Saturn enkulu Titan muva, Cassini mkhathi NASA wabamba amazwibela kwelanga bright sibonakalisa off hydrocarbon ulwandle.

Esikhathini esedlule, Cassini ayeyithumbile, ngokwehlukana, imibono zezilwandle ezibandayo futhi ilanga glinting off kubo, kodwa lokhu okokuqala zombili ziye zabonakala ndawonye nombono ofanayo.

Isithombe luyatholakala:

Godu in the image:

— An eziyinkimbinkimbi umcibisholo esifakwe bright methane amafu lubhakuza eduze Titan sika enyakatho pole. Amafu babengase ngenkuthalo refilling namachibi nge imvula.

— A “ubhavu ring,” nobe imajini bright, azungeze Kraken engaziwa Mare — ulwandle eliqukethe sunglint yabonisa — kubonisa ukuthi ulwandle yayinkulu ngesikhathi esithile, kodwa ukuhwamuka lehlile lingakanani.

Nezilwandle Titan sika lingama methane liquid kanye ethane. Ngaphambi kokufika Cassini sika at Saturn, Ososayensi abasolwa ngokuthi Titan kungenzeka zibe imizimba of liquid evulekile on ubuso bayo. Cassini wathola nje amasimu olukhulu zesihlabathi eduze nenkabazwe kanye ezinezinga aphansi, kodwa akuphi amachibi nezilwandle eduze izingongolo, ikakhulukazi enyakatho.

Umbono entsha ibonisa Titan ekukhanyeni lefoni. It etholwe by Cassini sika Visible kanye Infrared Mapping spectrometer (VIMS) on Aug. 21.

Umsebenzi Cassini-Huygens kuwumsebenzi wokubambisana of NASA, the European Space Agency kanye Italian Space Agency. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, ilawula mission for NASA Science Mission Directorate eWashington. Ithimba VIMS kusekelwe at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

Olunye ulwazi mayelana Cassini iyatholakala at the sites ezilandelayo:

Saturn on September. 16, 2014

Lena oluyinhlanganisela RGB wadala kusuka izithombe ezintathu Cassini wathumba of Saturn nenyanga yayo dione kwezinsuku ezimbalwa edlule. Cassini kwaba cishe 1,537,357 miles (955,269 amakhilomitha) kude Saturn ngesikhathi izithombe zathathwa.

Nasi umbono eyenziwe yesikhundla dione e-orbit on Sep. 16 at azungeze 10:00 UTC.
