The image above represents a portion of a radar swath of Titan obtained from the Cassini orbiter during the
T-98 Flyby of February 2, 2014. The file name of the original image is BIFQI62S175_D257_T098S01_V03.jpg. The
view reveals a portion of the first extraterrestrial lake identified in history. The lake or the stable pool
of liquids whose overall shape looks like the shape of a foot is known as Ontario Lacus. Ontario Lacus can be
found in the high latitudes of the southern hemisphere of Saturn's largest moon. Each side of the view is about
100 kilometers long.
