Is That Saturn's Moon Titan or Utah? (w/ Video)
Image 1: This artistic interpretation of the Sikun Labyrinthus area on Saturn's moon Titan is based on radar and imaging data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft and the descent imaging and spectral radiometer on the European Space Agency's Huygens probe. The relative elevations are speculative and organized around the assumption that fluids are flowing downhill. Image credit: NASA/JPL/ESA/SSI and M. Malaska/B. Jonsson Image 2: This image of White Canyon, Utah, from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument on NASA's Terra spacecraft shows a kind of terrain on Earth known as karst topography, which occurs when water dissolves layers of bedrock, leaving dramatic rock outcroppings and sinkholes. An area on Saturn's moon Titan called Sikun Labyrinthus displays some similar characteristics. The simulated natural color image of White Canyon was obtained Oct. 2, 2008.
