NASA's Dragonfly mission to Titan will launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy in 2028, exploring prebiotic chemistry and searching ...

In a new study, volcanic explosions are explored and modeled to understand the possible origins of rampart craters on Titan and determine whether their formation can source atmospheric methane.

Uncover the mystery behind Saturn’s iconic rings. ExtremeTech explains their origins and the science of our solar system.

Cassini images of crater-like features on Titan. The thickness of this methane icy shell matters because it could eventually explain why Titan's atmosphere is particularly rich with this hydrocarbon.

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 ...

A 6-mile-think shell of methane ice on Saturn's moon Titan could assist in the hunt for life signs arising from this moon's vast subsurface ocean. When you purchase through links on our site ...

Cassini SAR (synthetic aperture radar) images of Titan's impact craters. Arrows indicate potential forms of crater modification processes, including: dunes and sands (purple), channels (blue), and ...

Saturn will undergo a drastic change in the coming months, at least as the planet is seen from Earth. Here's what's going to ...

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 ...
