Titan, has Earth-like features

Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has Earth-like features, including mountains, river valleys and sand dunes, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said. Radar images taken by the Cassini spacecraft show that a bright patch on Titan known as Xanadu is surrounded by darker terrain, with an area of sand dunes giving way to a network of rivers and hills, NASA said late yesterday in an e-mailed statement. Cassini has been orbiting Saturn to study the ringed planet and its moons since the end of June, 2004.
