Three radar images from NASA's Cassini mission show a 20km object in Ligeia Mare, a lake on Saturn's moon Titan. Images from April 26, 2007, July 10, 2013, and August 21, 2014, reveal the object's appearance and evolution, sparking speculation about its origin (e.g., bubbling foam or floating solids). The mystery remains unresolved.

Titan’s Missing Deltas: A Planetary Puzzle Brown University researchers uncover a surprising absence of river deltas on Saturn's moon Titan, prompting new questions about the moon's geological processes and the dynamics of its methane-rich rivers and seas.

Titan's vast methane rivers lack expected deltas, challenging our understanding of planetary geology. Discover what this means for Titan's mysterious landscape. #TitanMystery #PlanetaryScience #CassiniData

False-color radar image sequence from Cassini showing a 20km object appearing, changing, and disappearing in Ligeia Mare, a lake on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, between 2007 and 2015. The origin of the object remains a mystery, with hypotheses including waves, foam, or floating solids.
