Ligeia Mare
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ligeia Mare is a lake located on Titan, the planet Saturn's largest moon. It is bigger then Lake Superior on Earth. It is composed of liquid hydrocarbons (mainly methane) located at 79.0° N, 248.0° W, measuring roughly 500km (300mi) in diameter and with surface area of about ~100,000km2. It is named after Ligeia, one of the sirens in Greek mythology.
Ligeia Mare is the primary target for the Titan Mare Explorer, a proposed lander mission which would navigate the lake.[1][2]
