I love astronomy news. Every new discovery and mission is like the convergence of fact and science fiction.The latest news from Titan (Saturn's biggest moon) is no different. NASA has confirmed with the Cassini probe the presence of large liquid lakes on the surface. Titan is the only body (after Earth) in the solar system to have such a feature, and it's made mostly of liquid hydrocarbons and ethane.
But alas, mankind must be endangering these pristine lakes, as global warming seems to have infected Titan:
The observations also suggest the lake is evaporating. It is ringed by a dark beach, where the black lake merges with the bright shoreline.Book your Titan vacations now, before it's too late to enjoy the frigid, natural beauty of these incredible lakes.
