So far the Cassini solstice mission has provide a wealth of priceless data about Titan, and about Saturn as well. Today's (10th July) a new flyby started (T-92), on planning it was called a "10-pointer” radar flyby and "one of the two scientifically most significant Titan flybys for Radar during the Solstice mission".
During Cassini's current (T-92) flyby, will we see any dramatic changes in Titan's northern hemisphere? What if we found that Titan lakes are changing with a rate higher than what we though based on analysis from previous data?

Hello. If we find that lakes on Titan are changing quicker that we previously concluded, it will mean (I think) that previous analysis did not take into account some influential factor. For example, some source of heat, neglected before,..or which has become active recently.
