It was thought that it could only be one or another, that a terrestrial-like mix of continents and oceans was theoretically impossible for Titan. The reason for this viewpoint, put forward by Carl Sagan and Stanley Dermott in 1982, was that Titan s elliptical orbit around Saturn precluded varied surface geography. Earth-based experiments carried out on Titan have produced results, now widely accepted, that directly contradict this robust theoretical argument. A team led by Duane O. Muhleman of C.I.T. fired radar pulses at Titan from Earth and used mighty radio telescopes to read the feeble returns. As Titan turned different longitudes towards Earth the resultant returns showed land and sea.
Titan has both.
Yet it retains an elliptical orbit. Astronomers are looking forward to the mapping and investigation of this variable terrain by Cassini and Huygens, but the anomaly has not gone away. This anomaly is answered simply by the 12th planet theory. Nibiru has wreaked havoc in the Solar System for billions of years during its periodic incursions. Assuming Nibiru was a terrestrial-sized planet, then its effect on Titan could only have been significant at relatively close range, probably upon Nibiru s first devastating plunge into the Solar System 4 billion years ago.
