Cassini sends back an infrared Titan rotation movie, showing all the funny-looking dark markings in the ESO Very Large Telescope map, and some more. What's that thing near the south pole, a cloud?

I'd vote for naming the big dark regions "Winston", "Niles", and "Rumfoord".

If the Saturn orbit insertion over the next couple of days goes well, Cassini should make a relatively close flyby of Titan around July 4, and we'll see more.

Meanwhile, here's my new desktop picture.
