'Ice volcanoes' seen on Saturn's moon

Image...
Coming after tantalising evidence for the presence of liquid water on Enceladus (http://current.com/items/89627929/more_evidence_of_liquid_water_on_saturn_s_moon...), scientists have presented evidence of 'Ice volcanoes' on another of Saturn's moons, Titan, which are thought to erupt a 'slurry' "made of water ice, ammonia and methane'.

To observe and document earth like processes (lava flows, spreading) on other worlds in our solar system is a fantastic achievement for our scientists.

    Um. I thought this has been known for a while. Maybe I'm thinking of another moon.
