Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anyone had predicted that we'd find caverns on Titan (if indeed they exist! ).
So far we've been thinking of Titan, basically, as a 2-dimensional world to explore. If this interpretation is correct, Titan might have an inside as well as an outside worthy of investigation.

I have yet to come across a "startling new" interpretation of Titanian geology that (upon my asking him) Ralph Lorenz hasn't been able to point to as being predicted in some past book or paper of his. I think I'll him about the caverns thing and see what he has to say. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
