A dark, lake-like feature on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has been imaged by the US-European Cassini spacecraft.
Researchers have long speculated that Titan might harbour open bodies of liquid methane - and the 235km by 75km target is the best candidate to date.
But they are being cautious about interpreting the feature, which has what looks to be a smooth shoreline.
If you ever get to visit the shore of this lake, whatever you do -- don't light up.
