This radar image released by NASA Tuesday, March 13, 2007, shows what scientists believe to be sea-size bodies of liquid, shown in blue, on the surface of Saturn's largest moon Titan. The discovery by the international Cassini spacecraft was welcomed by researchers, who have long theorized that Titan possessed hydrocarbon seas because of methane and other organic compounds in its thick, largely nitrogen atmosphere.[AP]
