New Fishing Hole – Twin Lakes on Titan

All you fishermen (fisherpeople?) out there been looking for a nice secluded spot to fish? How about these isolated lakes on Saturns moon, Titan? I wonder what kind of fish swim in a mixture of methane and ethane?
This incredible photograph taken by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows two lakes on the surface of Saturn’s moon Titan, attached by a thin channel. The image was taken during Cassini’s most recent flyby, when it passed by on September 23, 2006. On Earth, they’d be filled with water, but it’s just too cold on Titan; so these lakes contain a mixture of methane and ethane.
