Saturn's Largest Moon Bulges in the Middle

This article from the New York Times consists of information about the largest moon of Saturn. Scientists have discovered new information about Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. Although it was already known that the moon has sand dunes, lakes of liquid methane and a possibility of icy volcanoes, it is said that the shape of Titan is somewhat similar to that of earth. It is bulged at the middle and somewhat squashed near what would be the north and south poles. The rotation is similar to that of earth as is the similarity in shape. The same side of the moon is always faced toward Saturn. Scientists believe that the planets gravitational pull is the reason for the deformation of Saturn’s largest moon.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/07/science/space/07obtitan.html?_r=1
