Rivers on Titan Rivers on Titan, one of Saturn's moons, resemble those on earth. Recent evidence from the Huygens Probe of the Cassini Mission suggests that Titan, the largest moon orbiting Saturn, is a world where rivers of liquid methane sculpt channels in continents of ice. Surface images even show gravel-sized pieces of water ice that resemble rounded stones lying in a dry riverbed on Earth. [Physics Org] 10:09:34 PM
