This set of images shows the areas mapped so far on Saturn's moon Titan by the Cassini radar mapper using its synthetic aperture radar imaging mode.
Cassini to Fly by Smog-Cloaked Titan
Cassini's powerful radar, which can see through Titan's many haze layers, will image across an optically-bright, continent-size region of Titan known as Xanadu on April 30, 2006.
It is unclear whether Xanadu is a mountain range, giant basin, smooth plain, or a combination of all three.
