6 January 31 APOD
I think the 6 January 31 image borders on fraud. I stared at it for a minute, and even read the caption but it didn't immediately sink in that this was an "artist's impression" (whatever that means). Why not show us the Huygens images themselves and reserve the computer graphics for linked pages?
It would be interesting, even for an artistic impression, to see the swath of land that was in the only Titan image sent fron the surface presented in the same fashion. Rock for rock. Sometimes art for the sake of art is as awsome as life presented as art. In other words, artistic impresion images can have as much value as actual photos as they might convey a concept that causes us to see other things more accurately.
