"Unraveling the Mystery of Titan's Honeycomb-Shaped 'Magic Islands' on Saturn's Moon"

Scientists have proposed that the floating "magic islands" observed on Saturn's moon Titan are actually clumps of glacier-like snow shaped like honeycomb, formed from porous, frozen organic solids accumulating after snowing from the moon's sky. Research suggests that these snow clumps could float on the moon's liquid methane and ethane lakes if they are large enough and porous, similar to how ice sheets break away from glaciers on Earth. The study also explains why Titan's bodies of liquid are peaceful with small waves, attributing it to a fine floating blanket of frozen solids.
