First photo of liquid from another world

NASA revealed the first photo ever of liquid that doesn't belong to earth. The photo is showing reflection of the sun from a lake on Saturn's largest moon- Titan. Titan is the only body that is believed to have a liquid on it's surface and it's atmosphere contains mostly nitrogen. The glint of the sun appears on the lake called Kraken Mare. It's 400,000 square kilometers (150,000 square miles) wide which is larger than the lagers lake on Earth, the Caspian See. The temperature on Titan's surface is around -180 degrees Celsius.
The photocomes from the spacecraft Cassini.
