The Eastern Region of Titan

(...) Best view to date of the Region east of Xanadu Regio. This mosaic (...) reveals new detail of dark expanses and the surrounding brighter terrain. Some of the features seen here are reminiscent of those seen elsewhere on Titan, but the images also reveal new features. In the center of the image (fig. A) lies a bright area completely surrounded by darker material. The northern boundary of the bright "island" is relatively sharp and has a jagged profile, resembling the now-familiar boundary on the western side of XanadU. The profile of the southern boundary is similar. Streamers of bright material extend southeastward into the dark terrain. At the eastern end of the bright "island" lies a region with complex interconnected dark and bright regions (see fig. B). To the south, the bright terrain is cut by fairly straight dark lines. Their linearity and apparently angular intersections suggest a tectonic influence, similar to features in seen in the bright terrain west of Xanadu. Toward the northeastern edge of the dark material a dark, circular spot in the middle of a bright feature (see figure C) is an approximately 80-kilometer-wide (50-mile) crater identified in the February 2005 radar data (see PIA07368 for the radar image).
