Tsegihi

Tsegihi is a bright region in Titan's southern mid-latitudes. It is centered at 40°S 10°W / 40°S 10°W / -40; -10^[1].

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

Tsegihi is named for a sacred place of the Navajo. The first line in the Navajo Nightsong Tsegihi, The House Made of Dawn runs:^[2]

In Tsegihi, oh you who dwell

In the house made of the dawn...
