It may not actually be a hot-spot.  Other
possibilities are being considered.  Curiouser and

"Other bright spots have been seen on Titan, but all
have been transient features that move or disappear
within hours, and have different spectral (color)
properties than this feature. This spot is persistent
in both its color and location. "It's possible that
the visual and infrared spectrometer is seeing a cloud
that is topographically controlled by something on the
surface, and that this weird, semi-circular feature is
causing this cloud," said Dr. Elizabeth Turtle,
Cassini imaging team associate, also from the Lunar
and Planetary Laboratory."

THE BRAIN is wider than the sky,  
  For, put them side by side,  
The one the other will include  
  With ease, and you beside.
