Geotimes July 2005 Kathryn Hansen	Titanic Lake? Cameras on NASA's Cassini spacecraft recently recorded a surface feature on Titan, Saturn's largest moon that looks remarkably lake-like.
Geotimes February 2007	Cassini Sees Lakes on Titan Radar imaging from the July 22, 2006, flyby of the Cassini spacecraft is providing what researchers call "convincing evidence" for large bodies of liquid.
Geotimes March 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Titanic Methane Mystery Solved? The case of the elusive source of methane on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, could soon come to a close, some astronomers say. A new model suggests that instead of storage within surface lakes or an ocean, methane lies inside an icy crust and periodic changes release it into the atmosphere.
