Is that Saturn's moon Titan or is that Utah? New analysis of Cassini data indicates Saturn's moon Titan has more in common with Earth than we thought.

The radar that we've been flying around SaturnText: Voice of Tom Farr, Cassini radar team associate and passing by Titan periodically,we've been able to map out the surface brightness as the radar sees it.We see geologic processes that are very similar to what we see on the Earth.This is a computer generated 3-D fly through of an area of karst topography on Titan.Text: Karst Topography: Landscape shaped by the dissolving of bedrockIt was generated by inferring the topography and then laying a radar image down on top of the 3-D map.This area is an area called Sikun Labyrinthus on Titan. [00:00:35] It's an area of karst topography very similar to the karst topography we find on Earth, Text: White Canyon, UtahText: Cockpit Country, Jamaica especially in places like Jamaica,Text: Arecibo, Puerto Rico Puerto RicoText: Guangxi province, China or China.It's an area where liquid methane here on Titan has dissolved the rocks and produced a residual landscapeof just hills and valleys with no river valleys flowing through the area.So it's yet again another process that we see on the Earth that we find on Titanmaking Titan very similar to the Earth in many ways.Text: Artistic interpretation and animation by Mike Malaska, Doug Ellison and Bjorn Jonssonusing radar and imaging data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft and ESA's Huygens probeNASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology
