A movie showing liquid on the surface of a world other than Earth?
Yes indeed. This is Saturn’s moon Titan and its methane/ethane lakes in a digital compilation of still radar images from NASA’s Cassinni satellite. The liquid is deep blue, the higher land tan coloured.
The video featured on Astronomy Picture of the Day on 24/11/14.
