And what you see is bright and dark regions, and that's about as far as it got for us. It was so we couldn't make out what we were seeing on Titan. When you look closer at this region, you start to see things like sinuous channels -- we didn't know. You see a few round things. This, we later found out, is, in fact, a crater,

Carolyn Porco
American Scientist

American Musician
