卡西尼号成像科学子系统最近的观测表明，土卫六安大略拉克斯的部分海岸线已经后退了几公里，这可能表明2004年底出现在阿拉基斯平原（南纬80°，西经120°）的黑暗区域随后已经消退。这些变化对土卫六甲烷循环的各个方面以及土卫六表面材料的特性产生了限制。
Recent observations by Cassini’s Imaging Science Subsystem reveal that part of the shoreline of Titan’s Ontario Lacus has retreated by several kilometers and may indicate that the dark area that appeared at Arrakis Planitia (80°S, 120°W) in late 2004 has subsequently faded. These changes provide constraints on aspects of Titan’s methane cycle, as well as on the properties of Titan’s surface materials.
