New Titan Crater as of 09-10-06!
35km Crater with a central peak, dark floor, and ejecta. Probably the youngest of the 3 known Titan craters. Announcement coming from JPL later this week.

The other 2 Craters:
Menrva = 450km, multiple rings
Sinlap = 80km x 50km with flat floor

Following in the tradition of other Titan features with unpronouncable names, this 35-km wide impact crater has been given the name Ksa, after the Lakota and Oglala (South Dakota, USA) god of wisdom.

If You think that's unpronouncable how about the poor fossil primate who also got saddled with a Lakota name: "Ekgmowechashala". It's supposed to mean "small fox-man".
