How Ripples on Titan's Lakes Shocked NASA Scientists
69% Informative
Three years ago , Cassini ended it's mission by diving into the atmosphere of Saturn .
It's mission was tremendously successful and it was, in my opinion, one of the greatest missions of all time.
The data it collected over the 13 years in orbit around Saturn is still being poured over today as there are still a lot of unsolved mysteries about Saturn and it's moons.
But now scientists may have come up with an answer how they came into being.
The Huygens probe, which landed on Titan 's surface near the equator, did see flow channels around the surface.
This is thought to be the result of seasonal variations like summer and winter producing different types of weather on Earth .
The lakes likely vary in depth throughout the year , with some potentially drying up completely.
Scientists now believe these could be explosion craters that have since filled up with liquid methane.
