Planetary science: Organic lakes on Titan
François Raulin1
Abstract
While orbiting Saturn, the Cassini spacecraft has spotted lakes containing ethane on Titan, the planet's largest moon. Titan is so far the only planetary object other than Earth that is known to have liquid bodies on its surface.
Titan is the largest satellite of the giant planet Saturn. Its diameter of 5,150 kilometres makes it bigger than Mercury and only 25% smaller than Mars.
