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