This Cassini image makes Pandora appear to be hovering over Titan, but a coincidence of viewing angle is responsible for this image. Little Pandora is…
This newly released Cassini image shows Saturn and its moon Titan. Titan and Saturn have very few things in common, but a hazy appearance is…
As this new image from NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft shows, Titan is a “large” moon but it is still dwarfed by Saturn. Although Titan (3200 miles…
New research reveals that Titan’s atmosphere is even more Earth-like than previously thought and provides evidence for why Titan’s atmosphere is losing about seven tonnes…
New research reveals that Titan’s surface dissolves in a similar process that creates sinkholes on Earth, finding that the dissolution process occurs on Titan some…
This new Cassini image was acquired at a distance of approximately 1.2 million miles and looks toward the Saturn-facing side of Titan. Named after a…
In a new study, chemical engineers and astronomers from Cornell University reveal that Titan could harbor methane-based, oxygen-free cells that metabolize, reproduce and do everything…
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has observed Titan in the supersonic and super-Alfvénic solar wind, revealing that Titan’s interaction with the solar wind is in many ways…
A new three minute video uses data collected by Cassini’s imaging cameras and the Huygens Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer to better detail Saturn’s moon Titan. Approaching…
Ten years ago, ESA’s Huygens probe entered the history books by descending to the surface of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. Humanity’s first successful attempt to…
During a recent flyby, the Cassini spacecraft observed new, bright features in the seas that might be related to the mysterious feature that researchers dubbed…
Taken by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, this near-infrared, color mosaic shows the sun glinting off of Titan’s north polar seas. While Cassini has captured, separately, views…
Using data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, astronomers have identified an unexpected high-altitude methane ice cloud on Saturn’s moon Titan that is similar to exotic clouds…
Researchers investigating the chemical make-up of Titan’s atmosphere have discovered large patches of trace gases shining brightly near the north and south poles of Saturn’s…
Data from NASA’s Cassini mission reveals that a giant polar vortex hovering over the south pole of Titan contains frozen particles of the toxic compound…
New images from Cassini data show the appearance and evolution of a mysterious feature in Ligeia Mare, one of the largest hydrocarbon seas on Saturn’s…
A newly published study details how Titan’s methane rainfall interacts with icy materials within underground reservoirs, leading to the formation of reservoirs of propane and…
