The islands of Titan?
August 2nd, 2006NASA has released new images suggesting there are indeed islands on Saturn’s moon Titan.
A continent-size area appears to have many lakes, not of water but of some kind of liquid hydrocarbon. There may even be some islands visible — see the “lake” on the left side of this image.
Islands could figure in the confirmation of the lakes’ existence. Said a scientist, “We could hope to see sea-surface textures due to waves diffracting around islands, or vortices in the wake of islands.”
