Scientists have discovered that the icy shell of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, could possess an insulated, six-mile-thick (9.7-kilometer-thick) layer of methane ice beneath its surface.
The Moon isn’t as quiet as we thought! Newly discovered ridges and moonquakes suggest recent tectonic activity, reshaping its ...
Scientists have performed laboratory experiments to better understand how Saturn's moon Titan can maintain its unique nitrogen-rich atmosphere. Titan is the second largest moon in our solar system and ...
Titan is the only known moon with an atmosphere ... After analyzing tens of thousands of images of Titan’s surface the surface taken by Cassini’s, the researchers did not find an obvious ...

Dr. Kelly Miller from the South West Research Institute and Lead author of a paper about Titan’s atmosphere said “While just ...
In over 40 flybys of Titan, the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft managed to 'see' the surface of the moon with its radar experiment and an infrared camera. By the end of the mission, the Cassini orbiter had ...
Titan, Saturn's largest moon, might have a more violent past than astronomers realized. A new study suggests that the liquid methane lakes that dot Titan's surface may have formed when pockets of ...
