UPI: Cassini sends unexpected data on Titan: 'Water ice and hydrocarbons''

"Space experts at the California control center of the Cassini spacecraft say it has found water ice and hydrocarbons on the surface of Titan.
Cassini has for the first time made a mineral map of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, ABC News reported Tuesday.
It also has shown a diverse, irregular surface, including a possible crater and linear features that could be evidence of geological activity, said a spokesman at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Cassini's latest data also show a large cloud of gas that surrounds both Titan and Saturn, extending far outside the planet's ring system.
What is not yet visible are oceans of methane thought to cover the planet-sized moon.
Earlier pictures of Titan from the Voyager missions and Earth-based telescopes showed very bright patches, which scientists guessed could be continents, and dark patches that could be oceans of methane."
