Image Credit: Cassini Mission Here on Earth we often talk about planetary analogues. These are areas where the landscape here on our planet is geological similar to other worlds. There are regions in the Atacama desert, for instance, that are very similar to Mars. Today, as researchers look back at Cassini data of Saturn’s moon Titan, researchers can imagine Earth analogue landscapes, where methane/ethane seas erode away their their shores in much the same way water waves here erode shorelines on Earth. In a new paper in Science Advances researchers led by Rose Palermo use simulations to...
