Kraken Mare, the largest sea on Titan, is at lower left. Ligeia Mare is the large body below the pole, and Punga Mare at half its size is just left of the pole. White areas have not been imaged. Lakes of liquid ethane and methane exist on the surface of Titan, Saturn's largest moon.

Larger than Lake Superior on Earth, it is mostly composed of liquid methane, with unknown but lesser components of dissolved nitrogen and ethane, as well as other organic compounds. [4] [5] [6] It is located at 78° N, 249° W, and has been fully imaged by the Cassini spacecraft.

Apr 26, 2016 · A new study finds that a large sea on Saturn's moon Titan is composed mostly of pure liquid methane, independently confirming an earlier result.

May 3, 2016 · Read more about Titan’s pure methane sea via ESA. How different organic compounds make their way to the seas and lakes on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon.

Apr 25, 2017 · Kraken Mare, a body of water on Titan, Saturn's moon, with an area larger than the Caspian Sea, is a sea of hydrocarbons, mainly methane.

Jan 20, 2021 · Far below the gaseous atmospheric shroud on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, lies Kraken Mare, a sea of liquid methane. Cornell astronomers have estimated that sea to be at least 1,000 feet deep near its center – enough room for a potential robotic submarine to explore.

Apr 26, 2016 · Saturn’s largest moon is covered in seas and lakes of liquid hydrocarbons – and one sea has now been found to be filled with pure methane, with a seabed covered by a sludge of organic-rich material, and possibly surrounded by wetlands.

2 days ago · Its thick nitrogen and methane atmosphere gives rise to a host of Earth-like climate and weather features. Titan has clouds, wind and rain as well as rivers, lakes and seas. But instead of water, Titan’s fluid bodies contain methane and ethane, which are liquid at Titan’s chilly surface temperatures.

9 hours ago · The moon experiences clouds, wind, and rain, along with rivers, lakes, and seas. But unlike Earth, Titan’s liquid bodies are composed of methane and ethane, which remain in liquid form at the ...

Jan 21, 2021 · Kraken Mare, a sea of liquid methane on Saturn’s moon Titan, is at least 100-m (330 feet) deep near its center, according to an analysis of data collected by the RADAR altimeter onboard NASA’s Cassini spacecraft on August 21, 2014.
