Pictures of Titan's Lakes

sighted writes "For decades, scientists have wondered if the thick orange haze that shrouds Saturn's giant moon Titan hid lakes of liquid methane on the surface, but there was no way to confirm it, until now. The Cassini flyby of July 22, 2006 took these striking images and were released today."

I heard they wander around the Solar system wrecking anything they see.

Evidence of life?

[LarryLong]

I'm surprised this isn't being reported as evidence that cows once lived on Titan.

Somebody has to say it

[LarryLong]

Maybe the methane came from Uranus? Sorry. :)

Looks like Minnesota

...except Minnesota seems way colder that Titan.

Re:Here's a question...

[Swimport]

Why did it take them 6 months to release the images?

Because thats how long it took to false color the image to look like a desert with lakes...

Re:Evidence of life? thars petrolium

Wow, Finally a way to get this administration to fund space exploration. Petroleum.

Now if we could only start a rumor there are weapons of mass destruction, terrorist training camps, and Oceans of petroleum product on Titan, we could leave Iraq, and start a gold rush like rocket race to Saturn's moon.

Ye Ha , lakes full or petro.

Cheers
