NASA's Jessie Kawata: Sending Design Across the Universe

Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena recently unveiled their findings that liquid methane rains down on the surface of Titan, filling the seas and lakes of Saturn’s frigid moon.

"It's a marvelous feat of exploration that we're doing extraterrestrial oceanography on an alien moon," said Steve Wall, deputy lead of the Cassini radar team at JPL. "Titan just won't stop surprising us."

This otherworldly picture could not have been painted were it not for nine years worth of data being sent back to Earth from NASA JPL’s Cassini spacecraft, which launched back in 1997.
