Active ice volcanoes likely on Saturn moon

Observations from the international Cassini spacecraft suggest Saturn's largest moon may have active or recently active ice volcanoes.
Radar images point to flows on the surface of Titan that could result from volcanoes spewing chilled liquid from the interior, mission scientists reported on Monday.
Previous Titan flybys suggested ice volcanoes existed, and scientists believe they would erupt with ammonia, methane and water instead of lava.
