More Mysterious 'Magic Islands' Appear On Giant Saturn Moon

The “magic island” mystery on Saturn's moon Titan just became more puzzling.

Last year, astronomers spotted a strange bright feature in Titan's Ligeia Mare sea that they called a “magic island.” The object first appeared in photos of the sea in July 2013, and then seemed to vanish until it reappeared in new photos taken over a year later.

Now, two new “magic islands” have suddenly emerged in Titan's largest sea Kraken Mare, as shown in photos taken of the area by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.
