Titan
Titan, moon of Saturn, photographed by Voyager 2 on August 25, 1981, at a distance of 907,000 km (564,000 miles). Green and violet images were combined to make this photograph, which shows the extended atmosphere of the satellite.
Most of the large lakes on Titan are located in its north polar region. These lakes are filled with liquid hydrocarbons rather than water. While a smaller lake known as Ontario Lacus has been observed in the south polar region, the extensive system of large lakes is concentrated in the north.1
