Editors summary of letter in latest issue of Nature

"The surface of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, is coated in a dense methane-rich atmosphere that prevents high-resolution imaging at visible wavelengths. During its first Titan flyby last October, the Cassini spacecraft's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer (VIMS) was able to reveal detailed surface structures, as reported in this issue. Notable features include a circular structure 30 km in diameter, thought to be a cryogenic dome. This may be volcanic, which could explain how the methane in Titan's atmosphere is replenished."

Anyone seen an image of this volcano?

I get a feeling that the RADAR team in general or Ralph in particular, is obsessed with cats (Halloween Cat, Cat scratches, cat poo volcano).
