Titan




Seas on Titan

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, the second largest in the Solar System (after Ganymede of Jupiter). It was discovered by Christiaan Huygens in 1655.

Data from Cassini-Huygens. The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA and the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The seas consist most likely of liquid methane and ethane.

Nice :-)
