Flying over titanium methane lakes: video from NASA
Titan - one of the most interesting satellites of Saturn. Titan is spent a lot of time by scientists from different countries, including experts from NASA. Not so long ago, the Huygens probe was sent to Titan (I even once listened to the audio recording made by this probe in the fall). In addition, Titan is engaged in Cassini , an automatic interplanetary station, which regularly sends to Earth the most beautiful views of the rings of Saturn and our planet from an unusual angle.
So, Titan is one of the few satellites / planets of our solar system, on the surface of which there is a liquid. True, it is not water, but liquid methane, of which the lakes here are made up. The latter are many, they are huge, almost all of them are collected in the northern hemisphere of Titan. ')
Scientists believe that even methane rains fall on Titan, which probably looks very interesting.
So, the other day NASA uploaded a video that was an attempt to visualize the information sent to us by Cassini (the latter was collecting data using a radar, not a camera). The video may well be called “the flight over Titan’s methane lakes”. The video itself is not the most spectacular video in the world, but still when viewing it, it is worth remembering that this is information received by a person from his brainchild, a complex device sent to another planet, and successfully working there.
