Titan's Kraken Mare Lake is 10 times deeper than earlier thought: Cassini study They also found that the Kraken Mare lake is nearly the size of all five Great Lakes combined around 2,45,012.8 km.

Astronomers Spot Sea At Least 1,000-Feet Deep on Saturn's Moon Titan ✖ Even though NASA's Cassini spacecraft ended its mission to Saturn just over three years ago, scientists and astronomers are still sifting through the mounds of data the craft was able to transmit prior to its fatal descent into the Saturnian atmosphere. Astronomers from Cornell University's Center for Astrophysics and Planetary Science recently published "The Bathymetry of Moray Sinus at Titan's Kraken Mare," a journal entry studying the largest body of water on Saturn's largest moon Titan. Ahem, you know — the fiction...

Researchers found that Titan’s largest sea is not only 1000-ft deep near its centre but also nearly the size of all five Great Lakes combined.

Titan’s seas should be deep enough for a robotic submarine to wade through, a new paper explains. This should help pave the way towards our exploration of Titan’s depths.

But if you ever find yourself on Titan, Saturn’s biggest moon, you should stay away from swimming areas. A new paper reports that the Kraken Mare, the largest body of liquid methane on the moon’s surface is at least 1,000 feet deep near its center, making it both very deep and very cold.

  In the distant future, a billion miles from Earth, like a 21st-Century version of Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, a robotic, motor-less NASA submarine facsimile of Verne’s Nautilus, will probe the depths of Kraken Mare, the largest lake on Saturn’s, Earthlike moon, Titan, shrouded in a golden haze of gaseous nitrogen. This immense 1000-foot-deep body of methane is nearly the size of all five Great Lakes combined. “The depth and composition of each of Titan’s seas had already been measured, except for Titan’s largest sea, Kraken Mare – which contains abou...
