Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, is the only other planetary body in the solar system that currently hosts active rivers, lakes, and seas. These otherworldly river systems are thought to be filled with ...
Scientists report definitive evidence of the presence of lakes filled with liquid methane on Saturn’s moon Titan in this week’s journal Nature cover story. Radar imaging data from a July 22, 2006, ...
Using radar data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, recently published research presents a new scenario to explain why some methane-filled lakes on Saturn’s moon Titan are surrounded by steep rims that ...
Enormous lakes and seas filled with liquid methane on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan may have been crafted by the power of waves. Titan is Saturn's largest moon and the second-largest moon in our ...
There are only two objects in the solar system with sustained pools of liquid on their surface: Earth and Titan. On Earth, we have a well-understood water cycle that keeps liquid water flowing on the ...
Future explorers of Saturn’s moon Titan may get to surf on waves of rocket fuel. The icy shorelines of Titan’s southern lakes may be sculpted by waves of liquid methane, according to a recent study. A ...
A discovery about Saturn's moon Titan has challenged what scientists thought was a basic rule of chemistry. There, in the extreme cold, some supposedly fundamentally incompatible molecules may combine ...
There is no shortage of interest in Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. Its dense, nitrogen-rich atmosphere, surface lakes and seas, and cycles that mirror Earth’s in eerie, hydrocarbon-based forms have ...
Titan has permanent bodies of liquid on the surface like Earth, but they're liquid hydrocarbon instead of water. That doesn't explain the perplexing "bathtub rings" around Titan's seas, though. New ...
