Caltech scientists measure changing lake depths on Titan
|
|
09/10/2010 02:53 PM
|
|
On Earth, lake levels rise and fall with the seasons and with longer-term climate changes, as precipitation, evaporation, and runoff add and remove liquid. Now, for the first time, scientists have found compelling evidence for similar lake-level changes on Saturn's largest moon, Titan-the only other place in the solar system seen to have a hydrological cycle with standing liquid on the surface.
