Hi all,

NASA has released (9 Dec 2014) nice global colored maps of SIX major Saturn moons, as obtained by the Cassini spacecraft. While much higher resolutions do exist (> 10000 x 5000), these global mosaics have a uniform medium resolution of 2000 x 1000 pixels which seems just fine for a forthcoming celestia.Sci distribution (modulo Copyright checks)...Essentially no holes or lores areas in these medium-sized textures.

All textures require a horizontal offset of -<width>/2 px for celestia.Sci/Celestia.
I thought you might be interested in some nice views with celestia.Sci:
All screenshot images are 'king-size' (1920x1200), hence you should:

Unfortunately, no date. It also depends on the availability of the other members of our (small) celestia.Sci dev team. Real life takes time, you know...

Cheers

Thanks for your interest! Actually, the Mimas display above was not the proper texture. It is correctly replaced now. Have a look!
