Titan-Seas-Kraken_Mare-PIA11626-01.jpgKraken Mare (the Map)61 visiteKraken Mare is - so far - the largest known body of liquid on the Surface of Titan.
It was discovered in 2007 by the Cassini Probe and was so named in 2008 after the Kraken, a legendary sea monster. Kraken Mare is believed to be the largest of numerous seas and lakes in Titan's North Polar Region.
It should be a sea of Hydrocarbons whose discovery was further confirmed by Radar Imagery. Only a portion of the Kraken Sea has been imaged by radar, but its wider extent is indicated in Visible Light images that indicate a larger expanse. Kraken Mare is believed to be similar in size to the Caspian Sea. An island in the sea is named Mayda Insula.
As part of the proposed "Titan/Saturn System Mission", a probe would splash down on Kraken Mare in order to study and scrutinize its composition, depth and numerous other properties.
Nota Lunexit: "...and numerous other properties...". Quali??? Lifeforms living into it, maybe???...MareKromium

Craters-Schiaparelli_Crater-Layers-02.gifLayers in Schiaparelli Crater (Natural Colors; credits: Lunexit)61 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day", del giorno 29 Novembre 2009:"Is this a picture of Mars or Earth?
Oddly enough, it is a picture of Mars. What may appear to some as a terrestrial coastline is in fact a formation of ancient layered hills and wind-blown sand on Mars.
The above-pictured region spans about 3 Km in Schiaparelli Crater. What created the layers of sediment is still a topic of research. Viable hypotheses include ancient epochs of deposit either from running water or wind-blown sand. Winds and sandstorms have smoothed and eroded the structures more recently.
The "water" that appears near the bottom is actually dark colored sand. The image was taken with the Mars Global Surveyor Spacecraft that operated around Mars from 1996-2006 and returned over 200.000 images".MareKromium

Titan-Regions-Senkyo_Region-PIA11636.jpgThrough the Fog, in the Darkness: the Senkyo Region (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)61 visiteCaption NASA:"The low albedo feature known as Senkyo is (barely!) visible through the haze of Titan's Atmosphere.
See PIA08231 to learn about this area that appears dark near Titan's Equator. This view looks toward Saturn-facing Side of Titan and is centered on terrain at 1° South Lat. and 345° West Longitude. North on Titan is up and rotated 10° to the right.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Oct. 12, 2009 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of Near-InfraRed Light centered at 938 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 296.000 Km (about 184.000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 11°.
Image scale is about 2 Km (approx. 1,3 mile) per pixel".MareKromium
