Eyre Lacuna is a feature on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, believed to be a currently dry bed of an intermittent hydrocarbon lake.
When full, the lake would be composed of liquid methane and ethane.[1] It was detected in 2007 by the Cassini–Huygens space probe.
Eyre Lacuna is located at coordinates 72.6°N and 225.1°W on Titan's globe and is 25.4 km in diameter.[2] It is named after Lake Eyre, an intermittent lake in Australia.[2]
