Saturn's moon has 'ice volcanoes'
« on: December 16, 2008, 21:37 »

Two regions of Titan have been seen recently, by the Cassini spacecraft, to undergo clear changes in brightness.

I can imagine astronauts holding out glasses of G&T as a Titanic volcano explodes, hoping to capture just a little more ice.
