TL;DR: Spectra and high-resolution images obtained by the Huygens Probe Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer instrument in Titan's atmosphere reveal the traces of once flowing liquid, and like Earth, the brighter highland regions show complex systems draining into flat, dark lowlands.

TL;DR: The nucleus of the Jupiter-family comet 19P/Borrelly was closely observed by the Miniature Integrated Camera and Spectrometer aboard the Deep Space 1 spacecraft on 22 September 2001, and Borrelly's coma exhibits two types of dust features: fans and highly collimated jets.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: At least four active geyser-like eruptions were discovered in Voyager 2 images of Triton, Neptune's large satellite, during which on the order of a tenth of a cubic kilometer of ice is sublimed.
Journal ArticleDOI
