Cassini May Have Spotted an Ice Volcano on Titan

Cassini may have spotted a cryovolcano on Titan. it has been found in a region called the Sotra Facula. The craters, peaks and fingerlike flows are very good indicators that this is a cryovolcanism.


The picture has been exaggerated and filled in with false colours for clarity.This is good news for the search for life elsewhere as a cry of pain and needs heat and also water to actually be a cryovolcano.The Cassini mission has found a lot of good stuff and will continue to do so for years to come it seems.
