August 12, 2008 - Saturn's Moon, Titan, Has Liquid Hydrocarbon Lake.Only solar system body beyond Earth known to have liquid on its surface.
“Detection of liquid ethane confirms a long-held idea that lakes and seas filled with methane and ethane exist on Titan.” - Larry Soderblom, Ph.D., Cassini Scientist , U.S.G.S.
NASA JPL: “Ontario Lacus is roughly 20,000 square kilometers (7,800 square miles) in area, slightly larger than North America's Lake Ontario. The ethane is in a liquid solution with methane, other hydrocarbons and nitrogen. At Titan's surface temperatures, approximately 300 degrees Fahrenheit below zero, these substances can exist as both liquid and gas. Titan shows overwhelming evidence of evaporation, rain, and fluid-carved channels draining into what, in this case, is a liquid hydrocarbon lake. Earth has a hydrological cycle based on water and Titan has a cycle based on methane.”
