Because "geological" processes resurface or modify craters on Titan, you have to examine the rocky moons of Saturn to get the cratering rate (impactor flux) for the Saturnian system. After you've done that, you can then use that impact rate data to estimate ages for the currently observed surface of Titan.

That far right shot that REB points to in the next post actually shows Titan's surface. What can we say at this ponit? Bu simple comparison with Saturn's other moons, clearly re-surfacing is taking place on Titan - there is "geological" activity.

I wonder is they got spectra and/or color shots of this area.

Another question - are different areas of Titan visible at different times?

Note the white cyclonic pattern at Titan's pole - a storm?

Let us assume Cassini makes it through all of its current trip. Will it then be possible to park it somewhere in the Saturnian system, and have it return useful data for decades?

ps - I know this may sound strange, but one of the sad things about Cassini is the removal of Titan as a setting for a nice sci-fi work - wherein man discovers primitive intelligence on Titan. What would we do? Would we interfere? Would we try to help it along?

Ah well, the delimna could always be set on Europa, at least for the next couple of years.
