Cassini probe captures ‘Hot cross bun’ on Saturn’s moon Titan

Yesterday NASA revealed some really intriguing radar images of Titan’s terrain captured by Cassini spacecraft’s radar instrument during its May 22 flyby, which recently completed its 15 years in space. One of them depicts a giant, nearly circular mound which looks like
