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.

The tough icy shell of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, is apparently far stronger than previously thought, and hides a bizarre interior, including a potential ocean, scientists say.

Rather, researchers said, Titan's surface looks a lot like that of the Jupiter moon Callisto — which almost certainly lacks cryovolcanoes because of its cool interior.

Titan's hazy atmosphere completely blocks the moon's surface from view in optical wavelengths. In behind is a smaller moon, Tethys. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute) ...

The dense atmosphere roiling on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, may come from organic material baking in the moon's interior.

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 ...

Titan is the only moon of Saturn that you can see clearly through a small telescope. Jupiter has four big moons, the Galilean moons. Saturn only has one, Titan, and it’s much larger than all … ...

Just a few months after scientists presented tantalizing evidence of ice volcanoes reshaping the surface of Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, a new study is throwing some cold water on the prospect.
