The enigmatic Saturnian moon Titan is still yielding surprising new details years after scientists first pierced its thick haze veil. The vision now emerging of Saturn's largest moon, with its giant dunes and oceanless surface, is perhaps a glimpse of Earth's desert future.

On May 12, Cassini obtained this image showing the coastline and numerous island groups of a portion of a large sea, consistent with the larger sea seen by the Cassini imaging instrument. Like other bodies of liquid seen on Titan, this feature reveals channels, islands, bays, and other features typical of terrestrial coastlines.

The Cassini spacecraft's radar sweep of Saturn's largest moon Titan in January revealed a portion of what appears to be a 110 mile (180 kilometer) diameter impact crater. If its impact origin is confirmed it would only be the fourth such crater discovered on Titan, a surprisingly small number.

A lake the size of the Caspian Sea may have been spotted on Saturn's frigid moon, Titan. If it is indeed filled with liquid, the 1100-kilometre-long lake would be the largest yet found on the moon.

A giant cloud half the size of the United States has been imaged on Saturn's moon Titan by the Cassini spacecraft. The cloud may be responsible for the material that fills the lakes discovered last year by Cassini's radar instrument.
