Ice flowing on Saturn's moon

2004-11-10 14:19

Washington - The European-American Cassini-Huygens space probe has detected traces of ice flowing on the surface of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, suggesting the existence of an ice volcano, Nasa said on Tuesday.

The radar image sent back to earth by the probe "looks very much like it's something that oozed across the surface" of the moon, said Cassini radar team member Ralph Lorenz of the University of Arizona in Tucson.

"Or, it could be something carved by erosion. It's too early to say."

The probe's radar mapped a 230-square-kilometre area of Titan from an altitude of 2 494km, Nasa said in a statement.
