Scientists Puzzled by Titan

Spacecraft Cassini has sent more detailed pictures of the Saturnian moon Titan back to earth, much to the delight, and puzzlement of scientists.

According to the leader of the imaging team at Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colorado, Dr. Carolyn Porco:

We are seeing features and patterns on the surface, and there are processes creating these patterns, and that gives us something to chew on for a while. We can’t figure out what the features are, but they are intriguing. This is an environment we have never seen before. It is a very different place and it will take some time to unravel and piece it all together.
