Phil Platt at Bad Astronomy has turned me on to two cool things in one post.  Namely this:

To wit, there are apparently lakes on Titan.  This is very cool.  See those black blobs?  Those are the lakes.  They do kinda look like this:

See that black streak in the picture?  That’s a lake on Earth.  So, I do see what they are seeing.  This is very cool.  They have a shoreline pic as well, but it’s from about the same distance so I’m not sure what they view would be ground level.  But, I bet it’s very cool! Speaking of “they”, the cool thing #2 is who “they” are.  “They” is a blog called Planetary Society by Emily Lakdawalla.  It seems to be a toned down, just the facts kinda blog that suits me perfectly.  I’ll be keeping an eye on that one.

I’m not EVEN going to try to upstage either of them by pointing them to my post of LAKEFRONT PROPERTY ON TITAN FOR SALE of July 21. I would never do that.  I’m Republican ya see.
