From Geoff Carter
I enjoyed Stephen Battersby’s article on exploring the methane lakes of Titan (24 May, p 44).
It seems that a well-aimed radar sweep by Cassini over Kraken Mare, timed to coincide with the predicted tidal surge, might well detect tides, waves and even the theorised whirlpool at the Throat of Kraken. Let’s hope the geometry of the sweep already scheduled for the Cassini probe this August is favourable. Many years and dollars will be required before another spacecraft visits Saturn’s largest moon.
