Through Titan's haze

Article Abstract:

Cassini spacecraft has entered Titan, Saturn's largest moon using imaging radar system and mapped roughly 1 percent of a satellite world larger than either Mercury or Pluto. Cassini has not detected any signs of the long-predicted gasoline like seas of methane, propane or butane that are speculated to be as much as three kilometers deep.
