Now that I have DirecTV I was able to watch "NASA TV" on the large tv
instead of the computer monitor's fuzzy video stream. 

Watching the Titan images come in last night at JPL from Cassini was
enjoyable while bouncing back'n forth from the Red Sox game with the remote
control button. 

Here's the puzzle: What is going on with Titan on the surface?

The images show detail through the dense atmosphere by using a filter
(polarized infrared, I think) that are lacking depth. 

Of course, when the radar images come in, and when stereo images are
assembled, the depth of the surface features will be revealed. 

Anyone care to post an answer to the puzzle?
