Titan's rainfall?!?
In contrast to the image "Canyonlands on Titan", this bright terrain is cut by channels that are variable in width; they form both radial and branching networks and such patterns are reminiscent of networks formed by rainfall on Earth. 
At the bottom of the frame, the channels radiate from a possible source into a dark, smooth region that seems flatter and more plains-like. One interpretation is that the higher, rougher terrain has been cleansed of organic debris and eroded by methane rainfall. The removed material has then been deposited into the lower plains. 
This Cassini SAR image of Titan was taken on Sept. 7, 2005, at a distance of 2000 Km from Titan. It is located near 48° South Latitude, 14° West Longitude and extends about 240 Km right to left.
