Something without any straight lines, hard to define in geometric terms...
Something between a cell and a potatoes :wink:

Jestr,

The local cloud, also known as "Local Fluff," refers to a region that is many light years in diameter. The sun may have entered it a few thousand years ago. It isn't aligned with the ecliptic. See http://www.astronomycafe.net/qadir/q1372.html

Very good job indeed, Dr. Fridger. Congratulations!
And thanks for your efforts.
I can hardly wait for the enhancements that will come up from today's flyby. :wink:

Bye!

Thanks!

I am also very much looking forward to the forthcoming close distance imaging of Titan. I shall right away include the new images...

i.e around 200 km of altitude [...]

Also the yellow haze layer has been modified to include an
alpha channel, such that Saturn may just be made out from
below the haze boundary (~ 200 km)

Fridger,
Due to my current, extremely low-bandwidth circumstances (still waiting for the telco to hook up the new house), i??ll have to wait about a week before it??s practical to download this. But if you have changed the SSC entry in this version, i would be most interested to see what you have done... Could you post it here?

Thanks,
rthorvald
