Abstract
Since 2004, NASA's Cassini mission has been orbiting Saturn and taking measurements of the planet itself as well as its largest moon, Titan, which has an atmosphere that can serve as an analog for a young Earth. During Cassini's flyby of Titan in May 2013, it collected data from the moon's second‐largest sea, Ligeia Mare.
