"Unraveling the Enigma of Titan's 'Magic Islands' on Saturn's Moon"

Scientists studying data from the Cassini spacecraft's mission to Saturn's moon Titan believe that the mysterious "magic islands" observed in the moon's lakes may be blobs of organic molecules that form in the atmosphere, collect in the lakes, and float around. The team, led by Xinting Yu from the University of Texas, found that the solid material landing on the surface, and by chance, in the lakes, must be porous in nature, giving it the ability to float. This discovery sheds light on the unique chemistry and surface features of Titan, Saturn's largest moon.
