Titan's methane "springs"

Titan's methane "springs"
Titan's methane "springs" Because the channels in this image are short and stubby, the science team interprets them to represent "springs" of methane seeping out of the ground, instead of the rain-fed channels visible in the image at the top of this page. The brighter features could be evidence of "cryovolcanism," the volcanic extrusion of water-ice material. NASA / ESA / University of Arizona
