That is nice stuff. 90% of the time, I feel like I'm looking at visible light imaging, but every now and then it looks like a crater apron is transparent.
Too bad we can't get every solar system object to spend some time at 400,000 km long enough for us to do this to it.
Just give me warning when it's Jupiter or the Sun's turn at being 400,000 km away...
