Apparently the James Webb took this picture back in 2022 but I’m only just seeing it now. Is it just ice that happens to look extremely similar to earth or is there some other explaination?
I was looking at Titan on the Google Maps today and noticed that a lot of the surface features are named after references to literary works by Homer, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Frank Herbert, but I couldn't find anything that was named in reference to Kurt Vonnegut's The Sirens of Titan - which has several pivotal scenes taking place on the moon itself. I feel like if anything on Titan is going to be named after a book, Sirens should at least have been considered before Herbert's Dune - which is prominently referenced on several features of Titan.
Who names these things?
Yay!
