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.

Arguably the most fascinating moon in the Solar System is the Saturn satellite Titan, which has the only known body with liquid seas and rivers (of methane) on its surface. A new study suggests ...

At the closest point of this flyby, Cassini was 745 miles away from the surface of Titan. The spacecraft took hundreds of photos during this flyby, and these were the highest resolution views of ...

They flow as liquid because Titan’s surface temperature is around -290ºF/-179ºC. Since its atmosphere is thick geologists don’t have many images of its surface, but the few they do have ...

A new study suggests that the planet’s icy interior and liquid ocean could be insulated with a three-to-six-mile-thick layer of methane clathrate, which is solid water ice with methane gas trapped in ...

Titan, the largest of Saturn's moons, shares remarkable similarities with Earth. Its thick atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen; it features the most complex organic chemistry known outside of ...

The observations were surprising as based on data from other moons, additional impact craters that are much deeper should have been present on the surface of Titan. "We realised something unique ...

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 ...

Cassini images of crater-like features on Titan ... Saturnian system in 2034 to conduct up-close observations of Titan's icy surface. The team's research was published on Sept.
