Cassini captures the first high-resolution glimpse of the bright trailing hemisphere of Saturn's moon Iapetus. The view was acquired with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 10, 2007, at a distance of about 73,000 kilometers (45,000 miles) from Iapetus.
This false-color mosaic shows the entire hemisphere of Iapetus (1,468 kilometers, or 912 miles across) visible from Cassini. The central longitude of the trailing hemisphere is 24 degrees to the left of the mosaic's center.
Also shown here is the complicated transition region between the dark leading and bright trailing hemispheres. This region, visible along the right side of the image, was observed in many of the images acquired by Cassini near closest approach during the encounter.
Revealed here for the first time in detail are the geologic structures that mark the trailing hemisphere. The region appears heavily cratered, particularly in the north and south polar regions. Near the top of the mosaic, numerous impact features visible in NASA Voyager 2 spacecraft images (acquired in 1981) are visible, including the craters Ogier and Charlemagne.
The most prominent topographic feature in this view, in the bottom half of the mosaic, is a 450-kilometer (280-mile) wide impact basin, one of at least nine such large basins on Iapetus. In fact, the basin overlaps an older, similar-sized impact basin to its southeast.
In many places, the dark material--thought to be composed of nitrogen-bearing organic compounds called cyanides, hydrated minerals and other carbonaceous minerals--appears to coat equator-facing slopes and crater floors. The distribution of this material and variations in the color of the bright material across the trailing hemisphere will be crucial clues to understanding the origin of Iapetus' peculiar bright-dark dual personality.

Zlecenie Klify kosmosu zrealizowane prawidlowo i w terminie Towar zgodny z zamowieniem Starannie opakowany. Polecam korzystanie ze sklepu
Obraz piękny. Za każdym razem, kiedy wchodzę do pokoju i moje oko wyłapuje obraz, to zatrzymuje mnie na moment jego głębia i piękno. Obraz jest jakby żywy, jakby tętnił swoim życiem. Trochę żałuję, że nie wybrałam większego rozmiaru. Może za jakiś czas to nadrobię. Dziękuję i pozdrawiam ciepło, Beata

I chose a version in the "Canvas Print" technique. I am really pleased with the effect, as you can see in the attached picture. The picture is inspiring and breathtaking.
I had a lot of questions before the purchase, and in the process, I got all answers and support I needed. The responses were fast, precise, and kind. If you have any doubts, wait no more - the work is worth the price and looks at least as good as you can see in pictures. :)
