Titan Images 2023

The image above represents a portion of a radar swath of Titan obtained from the Cassini spacecraft during the T121 Flyby performed on July 25, 2016. Each side of the view represents approximately 100 kilometers. One can notice a topographic feature that may represent an impact crater or a cryovolcano. A small feature that appears relatively round can be found inside a bigger feature that also appears relatively round. Is the small feature that appears relatively round a caldera of an ice volcano ? The file name of the original view is BIFQI07S128_D277_T121S01_V02.jpg.

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.
