“Nobody was expecting very strong energy dissipation inside Titan,” says Flavio Petricca, a postdoctoral fellow at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. That surprise signal, wrung from archival Cassini ...

Saturn’s largest moon Titan has been thought to have a large ocean below its surface. This discovery was made in 2008 by the Cassini mission. However, the Jet Propulsion Lab as been analyzing that ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Saturn's giant moon Titan may not have a vast underground ocean after all. Titan instead may hold deep layers of ice and slush more akin to Earth's polar seas, with pockets of ...

What can a moon’s tidal friction teach us about its formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes to address as a team of researchers at the University of ...

Scientists suggest Titan formed from a giant moon collision that also may explain Saturn’s rings and strange moon orbits.

Saturn's largest moon, Titan, is the only place other than Earth known to have an atmosphere and liquids in the form of rivers, lakes and seas on its surface. Because of its extremely cold temperature ...
