That DISR image I just saw was much sharper than I imagined it would be. The features there were described to look like drainage channels.

The dark, smooth part on the right looks like a lake of liquid. The squigly lines remind me of a Viking image of Mars showing dried up streams.

I want to say that that image literally brought tears to my eyes, being so beautiful and so much of what I'd hoped for. Thanks, Huygens!

Not sure if we're looking at the same image or not, but if we are, then shouldn't those channels (and they can hardly be anything else) be flowing into the "lake" and not away from it, if it actually were a lake? Maybe it's more like a glacier?

other possibilities that are coming up are volcanic outflow channels and rain drainage from the last equinox rainy season

A shoreline? Out there? Okay, it's bitterly cold and not water at all ... but I love the sea and I love lakes, too. I hope *so* this turns out to be a liquid! I'm so thrilled, guys! biggrin.gif

Not even Europa has a shoreline! cool.gif

Wow, look how rounded those cobbles are! Maybe the hour+ of surface images could be stacked to improve the resolution.
