Arrakis Planitia is a planitia (plain) on Titan, the largest moon of the planet Saturn. It is located in Titan's southern hemisphere, between 74-80° south and 113-134° east,[1] within the Mezzoramia region.[2]
Arrakis Planitia is named after Arrakis, a fictional desert planet that is featured prominently in Frank Herbert's Dune novels.[1] The name follows a convention that Titanean plains are named after planets in Herbert's work.[3][4][5]
