- Lakes Found on Saturn's Moon Titan
  Posted by Billbar from Space.com
  These are not bodies of water like those on Earth, but rather dark lakes of methane and possibly ethane. They are likely the source of the hydrocarbon smog in the moon's atmosphere that has long made it impossible to even see the surface. "This is a big deal," said Steve Wall, deputy radar team leader at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "We've now seen a place other than Earth where lakes are present."

- Patch of Saturn's Moon Resembles Earth
  Posted by Billbar from Space.com
  New radar images of Saturn's moon Titan reveal dunes, hills, valleys and rivers that scientist say look a lot like home. But on Titan, which is frigid and shrouded in smog, the features are likely carved in ice rather than solid ground. The detailed view is of a bright area on Titan called Xanadu. It's about the size of Australia and has been studied from afar for years.

- Saharan Sand Dunes Found on Saturn's Moon Titan
  Posted by Billbar from Space.com
  Recent images of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, captured by the Cassini spacecraft as it flew by Titan last October and released today, show sand dunes at Titan's equator much like those in the Sahara desert. "It's bizarre," said Ralph Lorenz of University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. "These images from a moon of Saturn look just like radar images of Namibia or Arabia."

  Titan's atmosphere is remarkably like Earth's, but even more complex and multilayered.
