Cassini reveals tallest peak on Saturns moon Titan
Scientists working on NASA\'s Cassini mission have identified the highest point on Saturn\'s largest moon Titan. Titan\'s tallest peak is 10,948 feet high and is found within a trio of mountainous ridges called the Mithrim Montes. The researchers found that all of Titan\'s highest peaks are about 10,000 feet in elevation.
Washington: Scientists working on NASA's Cassini mission have identified the highest point on Saturn's largest moon Titan. Titan's tallest peak is 10,948 feet high and is found within a trio of mountainous ridges called the Mithrim Montes. The researchers found that all of Titan's highest peaks are about 10,000 feet in elevation.
The study used images and other data from Cassini's radar instrument, which can peer through the obscuring smog of Titan's atmosphere to reveal the surface in detail. Mountains and cliffs on Earth usually are found in locations where forces have shoved the surface upward from underneath.
Cassini has found that Titan also has rain and rivers that erode its landscape. "There is lot of value in examining the topography of Titan in a broad, global sense, since it tells us about forces acting on the surface from below as well as above," said the experts.
