Methane Rivers

Hi All

The ESA are saying that the rivers are feed by seasonal rains on Titan, and the dark areas are currently coated in dark organics, not filled with fluid...

BBC News on Titan

Assorted ESA detail photos

And some current ESA conclusions

...and don't we all moan when the press says how "earth-like" Titan is? Yep... water is hard as granite in my town and we wade through natural gas down in the swamps.

Best quote... Huygens mission manager Jean-Pierre Lebreton said he would now like to send robotic explorers like Nasa's Mars rovers to Titan.

...nix the solar panels though.
