UM-Bot Posted April 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Researchers in France have determined why entire islands have been vanishing from the surface of Titan. http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/306689/titan-disappearing-islands-mystery-solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamor Posted April 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Well, I think the shape of the "Island" is way to similar over the years to believe their explanation without further evidence, sounds just like speculations to me! Zam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously if a gas bubble make an island disappear, wouldn't the island have been resting on the bubble(s) in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibeliever Posted April 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Quote Here we report that our numerical model, when combined with experimental data found in the literature, shows that Ligeia Mare's bed is a favourable place for nitrogen exsolution. Exsolution. Great word! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I understand, they are not islands, they only look like ones from satellite images up above. Apparently they are just a lot of bubbles on the surface, reflecting the light in a manner resembling a solid surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bison Posted April 21, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Maybe those 'islands' are something analogous to our algal blooms, which can come and go in relatively short periods of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
