Black and white image of Titan's surface showing a dried-up riverbed snaking through the landscape, possibly containing methane in the recent past, and a dark lakebed at the bottom. This image from the Huygens probe reveals a surprisingly Earth-like landscape on Saturn's moon, despite the extremely cold temperatures that turn water to ice.

False-color synthetic radar map of Titan's northern region, showing dark areas (likely methane lakes) reflecting little radar signal. The image, from the Cassini spacecraft, spans 150 kilometers and reveals Titan as the second body in our solar system with surface liquids.
