Carnival of Space 609

The Carnival of Space 609 is up at Universe Today. Universe Today – Methane-Filled Lakes on Titan are “Surprisingly Deep”. During Cassini’s final flyby of Titan, it aimed its radar at some of the moon’s liquid lakes. The data shows that those lakes are up to 100 meters (300 ft) deep. The data from those final days also sheds new light on Titan’s hydrocarbon cycle. Hydrocarbon rains feed the lakes, which then are subject to evaporation. Some of the liquid seeps into the subsurface, which would leave reservoirs of liquid hydrocarbons below the surface. Universe Today – TESS Just Found
