  • Catch a wave. Fleeting features on the face of Titan are probably waves rippling across the moon's seas. As far as people know. Saturn's largest moon is the only world apart from Earth to host liquids on its surface, in the form of methane and ethane lakes and seas. The lakes are usually flat and calm, but NASA's Cassini orbiter has spotted mysterious intermittent glints. Their reappearance seems to confirm something is afoot.
