Tsegihi

Encyclopedia : T : TS : TSE : Tsegihi

Tsegihi is the provisional name for a bright feature on Titan centered at 15°W, 40°S.

It is thought to be brighter than the surrounding area because dark organic haze particles which settle elsewhere on Titan are washed from Tsegihi by methane storms.

Tsegihi is also the first line in the Navajo Nightsong [Tsegihi, The House Made of Dawn]

In Tsegihi, oh you who dwell
In the house made of the dawn
. . .
