Shoreline Terrain on Saturn's Titan
The Cassini spacecraft captured this radar image of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, revealing an unusual shoreline-like terrain. The choppy, light-colored areas show channels that suggest erosion by a moving fluid. Darker, smoother regions appear to outline bays. This suggests the presence of liquid on Titan's surface, likely methane or ethane, forming lakes or seas.
