Mystery Feature Now Disappears in Titan Lake
A mysterious, changing object appeared in Ligeia Mare, a hydrocarbon lake on Titan. Radar images from the Cassini spacecraft, which orbits Saturn, first detected the object in 2013, where it hadn't been in 2007. Subsequent observations in 2014 showed it had changed. The object is no longer visible in recent images, leaving its nature a mystery.
