Depends how far it was 'underwater' before.  There seems be more land in general in the lower photo.
True dat -- but raises the question of why the levels are fluctuating in a lake that, presumably, doesn't have to worry much about things like evaporation.

It's methane right?

Obviously that's where Dr. Nefario from Despicable Me gets the fuel for his Fart Cannons.

Would Saturn's hefty gravity not possibly create tides?

Wait, there's liquid water on Saturn? I feel like I should know that...

It doesn't seem to. The lakes might be too small. One of the lakes mentioned in the article has waves no larger than a millimeter, so the liquid's not being moved that much.

QuoteIshiguro noted proudly how Japanese Internet company Softbank Corp. recently showed a robot named Pepper, which looks a little like C-3PO in "Star Wars," and will sell for less than 200,000 yen ($2,000).
Pepper's arrival means robots are increasingly becoming part of everyday life in Japan.
"Robots are now becoming affordable — no different from owning a laptop," said Ishiguro.



Creepy  :-X

Yeah, blowing 200k on a robot is just like spending a few hundred on a laptop.

To be fair though, that was Yen he quoted. $2000 is reasonable for a high-end laptop.
