The liquid river, the first observed on another planetary body, stretches more than 200 miles (400 kilometers) from its headwaters to a large sea.

Using Cassini’s radar imaging instruments, NASA scientists were able to determine that the strange geological feature is likely a river as the dark, smooth surface within the meanders and channel suggest the presence of a liquid. The radar image, according to NASA, was taken on September 26, 2012, and it details Titan’s north polar region, where the river valley flows into Kraken Mare, a sea that is similar in size to the Caspian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
