Ligeia Mare

Ligeia Mare - the name is Latin - is the name for a Methansee on Saturn's moon Titan. He traverses approximately 500 kilometers and is located at the point 79.0 ° N / 248.0 W. The depth of the lake for the most part filled with methane is 170 m. Because the Seeinhalt ( also thanks to the flat surface ) is transparent for Cassini radar beams could overlook the reason and so measure the depth. It is named after the Ligeia, a Greek goddess.
