Shangri-La is the large, dark region at the center of this infrared image of Titan. The Selk impact crater on Titan, as imaged by the Cassini orbiter's radar, is 90 km (56 mi) in diameter. [52] The Dragonfly rotorcraft should land initially in dunes to the southeast of the Selk impact structure at the edge of the dark region called Shangri-La.
However, there is still limited data on Uranus as it is so far away from Earth and hard to observe regularly. In 2018, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) captured an image of Uranus that showed a large, bright, polar cap over the north pole. The storm is thought to be long-lived and scientists hypothesize it formed by seasonal changes in atmospheric ...
The first Misty satellite, USA-53, was released by the Space Shuttle Atlantis on mission STS-36 in 1990. The USA-144 satellite, launched on 22 May 1999 by a Titan IVB from Vandenberg Air Force Base may have been a second Misty satellite, [53] or an Enhanced Imaging System spacecraft. The satellites are sometimes identified as KH-12s.
Uranus is surrounded by rings and moons in the new Webb image. The central bright feature on the planet is Uranus' seasonal north polar cap. - NASA/ESA/CSA/ STScI

Upon successful completion of Voyager 1's objectives, Voyager 2 would get a mission extension to send the probe on towards Uranus and Neptune. [13] Titan was selected due to the interest developed after the images taken by Pioneer 11 in 1979, which had indicated the atmosphere of the moon was substantial and complex. Hence the trajectory was ...
Solar System space probes operational as of November 2024. This is a list of active space probes which have escaped Earth orbit.It includes lunar space probes, but does not include space probes orbiting at the Sun–Earth Lagrangian points (for these, see List of objects at Lagrangian points).
