Drainage channels

No, I'm not making this up. The current interpretation of two of the images coming back from Titan is that we're looking at a shoreline and drainage channels.

So there's liquid. Best guess ethane. Lots of it. And it looks like the probe came down close to the coastline of a sizeable body thereof.

See the Cassini multimedia site.

Update: rehosted image of the third photo below. The two believed to be showing drainage channels are this one and the first one in the preceding post.
