This artist concept shows a mirror-smooth lake on the surface of the
smoggy moon Titan.
Cassini scientists have concluded that at least one of the large lakes
observed on Saturn's moon Titan contains liquid hydrocarbons, and have
positively identified ethane. This result makes Titan the only place in
our solar system beyond Earth known to have liquid on its surface.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages
the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The
Cassini orbiter was designed, developed and assembled at JPL.
