Title Two new Titan features - water ice and methane springs

Released 20/01/2005 12:00 am

Copyright ESA/NASA/JPL/University of Arizona

Description
A single Huygens DISR image that shows two new features on the surface of Titan. A bright linear feature suggests an area where water ice may have been extruded onto the surface. Also visible are short, stubby dark channels that may have been formed by 'springs' of liquid methane rather than methane 'rain'.
