A NASA probe captured crystalline images of the surface of Titan, a Saturn moon where 300-foot dunes of frozen chemicals cross the surface.
NASA has already said that liquid water can exist under Titan The six new infrared images were created using 13 years of data acquired by the instrument VIMS (Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer) on board of NASA's Cassini spacecraft.
Cassini was deliberately directed into the atmosphere of Saturn after 20 years of observing the planet last year – and new views were created by combining data.

NASA says, "Observe Titan's surface in the visible region of the spectrum is difficult, because of the globe muddling the mist that envelops the moon.
This is mainly because small particles called aerosols in the upper atmosphere of Titan strongly scatter visible light
surface can be more easily imaged in some infrared "windows" – wavelengths infrared where scattering and absorption is much lower. It is here that the VIMS instrument excelled, separating the haze to get clear images of Titan's surface. "
