Eponym

Tui Regio (located at 20°S, 130°W^[1]) is a region on Titan, the Saturnian moon, in the southwest corner of Xanadu,^[2] named after , a Chinese goddess of happiness, joy and water.^[1] Tui appears to lack the erosion channels that mark other highland regions on Titan, suggesting it may be geologically young.^[3] Patterns resembling lava flows have also been observed, suggesting cryovolcanism.^[4]
