Six New Named Titan Lakes!

Hot off the presses from the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature (5/23/2024)

The IAU Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature has approved the names Chapala Lacus , Robino Lacus, Fena Lacus, Dem Lacus, Tibi Lacus, and Vaca Lacus for six features on Titan. For more information, please see the Titan North Pole nomenclature map in the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature

All six new named features are lakes (lacus) and are all named after lakes on Earth

Chapala Lacus: Named after a lake in Mexico

Dem Lacus: Named after a Lake in Burkina Faso

Fena Lacus: Named after a lake in Guam

Robino Lacus: Named after a lake in Haiti

Tibi Lacus: Named after a lake in the Sierra Leone

Vaca Lacus: Named after a Lake in Belize

All six lakes are visible from Cassini between 72-78 degrees latitude and 129-144 degrees longitude on Titan. The lakes are the small dark smudges:

The images above were recovered from the Cassini RADAR images taken of the spot on September 30, 2005 (T18-S01). This was done via pydar—a Python tool I help develop

Side note: it took longer than expected to get these changes up in Pydar because the web scrapper in place kept failing mysteriously. I think the folks that run the planetary data service for Cassini should sent me—me specifically—an email to tell me they were updating the website URL from “pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov” to “planetarydata.jpl.nasa.gov” since it broke the backend for Pydar in a very strange way and I couldn’t find any reference to the change. All fixed now but it was confusing to debug

Sit back and relax as you fly into Newquay Cornwall Airport, just five miles outside of Newquay town centre, so you can start your holiday as soon as possible.

Newquay Airport is the largest in the county and was recently voted into the top 26 airports based on the view on approach to land. As you get ready to touch down at Newquay Airport, you will bear witness to the beauty that surrounds Newquay with views of the Atlantic Ocean and some of Newquay’s infamous beaches visible upon your arrival.

The Airport itself is home to a handful of operators that fly daily in and out of Cornwall’s largest airport.

Flybe provides flights from London Gatwick and back each day, with other popular services during the seasons to places such as Norwich, Manchester, Edinburgh, Belfast and Newcastle. Skybus have flights on a regular basis to and from the Isles of Scilly – which can be as frequent as 6 times a day all year. Lufthansa can take you on flights from Dusseldorf to Newquay each Wednesday and Saturday during the summer months.

Cornwall Airport Newquay provides scheduled flight services across the UK, Europe, Middle East and the United States. Keeping Cornwall Connected. https://www.cornwallairportnewquay.com/ Cornwall Airport Newquay is the main commercial airport for Cornwall, England, located at Mawgan in Pydar, 4 NM northeast of the major town of Newquay on Cornwall’s north coast. Its runway was operated by RAF St Mawgan before 2008, and is now owned by Cornwall Council

Aer Lingus, Stobart Air, Etihad Airways, Eastern Airways, Ryanair, Euro wings, SAS and Logan Air all fly direct to Newquay. The cheapest month to fly to Newquay is September.

Cheap flights to Newquay are available from London Gatwick Airport, Manchester Airport and some regional airports around the UK. … Western Greyhound and First Devon and Cornwall are the main bus operators and run a network of services around Newquay and the surrounding region.

New (Named) Crater on Saturn's Moon Titan!

Ihi Crater

The crater has been there for a while, but an official name has just been adopted on March 21, 2024 by the IAU. The crater is named Ihi, after a Tahitian goddess of wisdom and learning

The crater is located between -7.40° to -8.29° latitude and 164.75° and 165.46° longitude on the moon's surface

A Python package to access, download, view, and manipulate Cassini RADAR images in one place

A package I have been working on to be able to view images from Saturn’s moon Titan. It is in its early Beta for those curious to see images of the strange moon

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the only world with earth like weather. In 2004, NASA sent a lander to the surface and discovered enormous lakes of gasoline-like liquid that cover the poles

With pydar, easily access and view swaths of Cassini radar images for any time or feature of interest

Example of a pydar result for Titan’s second largest lake Ligeia Mare:
