An international team of astronomers have created a global map of the surface of Titan, the ringed planet's largest moon, and it features some surprisingly Earth-like geological features.
Researchers have taken a major step toward the exploration of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, by producing the first global map of the world’s icy plains, twisted canyons, and crinkled shorelines.
Still, the maps above show the composites' potential. The upper row of images displays the 50-mile-wide (80 km) Sinlap impact crater — one of the youngest impact craters to dot Titan's surface ...
Scientists have pieced together the first-ever global topographic map of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, using radar observations from veteran NASA spacecraft.
NASA scientists are eager to study the surface of Titan and announced plans earlier this year to send a drone, part of the Dragonfly mission, to the moon’s surface by 2034.
Using the now-complete Cassini data set, Cornell University astronomers have created a new global topographic map of Saturn's moon Titan that has opened new windows into understanding its liquid ...

This isn't very widespread—accounting for only 1.5 percent of Titan’s surface—but appears to have started as high elevation regions eroded by rivers flowing toward lower ground.
These infrared views of Titan peer through the gloom Slowly but surely, the surface of Saturn’s strange moon Titan is being revealed. Researchers have made the first map of the geology of Titan ...
Peering through Titan's thick orange clouds may not be the easiest of tasks, but a team of planetary scientists using NASA’s Cassini spacecraft have done it, and created the first full ...
The most detailed images ever made of Saturn's moon Titan reveal surface features in unprecedented clarity. What emerges — in addition to some useful science — are a dog and a dragon imagined ...
