A new RADAR image of a portion of Titan's "Caspian Sea" was just publically released:
http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA09211 I have to say, this is an incredible view. The first thing I though of was how much it looked like the coastline in the Pacific Northwest. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

I'm really looking forward to seeing the names that will be applied to the lakes, seas, and islands of this region as mapping improves over the course of the extended mission(s). This is geography we can quickly identify with, and a treasure trove of terrestrial lake names are waiting to be attached to these features...will the seas be called "Mare"? What of the islands? "Facula" need not apply here.
