|    Re: Cassini Images Blurry or Titan a Tou    |

      From: rolandop@yahoo.com              The cloud cover is so pervassive and thick (as well as turbulent)       that clear photography is next to impossible. What we have may be       close to the best we get? The next trick is seeing anything within the       clouds or below the upper cloud layers. Everyone involved has known this       was going to be problematic all along. The problem is: they just       didnt say so straight out, leaving a lot of confused and some angry       people! And "the media", assholes that they are now!, didn't even       bother to ask or pursue this - FOX NEWS included. It's a major       botch, I think. But in the state of near anarchy we are now in in       America is a major feat Cassini and Huygens are up there at all       and working as well as they are. Somebody was doing his and her jobs       right. Not everyone's programing was faulty!              John                            Todd Bandrowsky wrote:              > I went through the Cassini images from Saturn and Titan and I was       > expecting to find a great variety of Voyager or Pioneer color       > tour-de-forces but instead there are a great deal of blurry black and       > whites.
