A type of natural gas in Titan's poles in Saturn

Scientists had already spotted lakes of methane, a type of natural gas in Titan's poles, but so far none had been found in its equatorial regions, which are mostly arid and vast expanses of dunes.
"It was totally unexpected, because the lakes are not stable in tropical latitudes," said Caitlin Griffith of the University of Arizona, director of the team responsible for the finding.
