This is Ligeia Mare, the second biggest known liquid body on Titan. It's about 420 km x 350 km with shorelines that extend for over 3000 km. But it's not full of water, it's filled with liquid methane. (Natural gas on Earth is mostly methane.)

If that was the ink spot test I would say it looks like Fred Flintstone walking and carrying the catch of the day!

At the end of May this year, NASA's Cassini spacecraft was looking towards the night side of Saturn's moon Titan. This view highlights the extended, hazy nature of the moon's atmosphere.

Titan is a fascinating moon, the size of a planet.
