A puzzling image from the Huygens probe's 2005 Titan landing, showing river-like channels, continues to intrigue scientists.

Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is one of the most intriguing destinations in our solar system. With its thick atmosphere, ...

Saturn’s largest moon might not be the barren world it seems. Beneath Titan’s icy crust lies a vast ocean of liquid water—possibly as deep as 300 miles. While its surface hosts lakes of methane and ...

For decades, chemistry students have learned a simple truth: polar and nonpolar substances don’t mix. Water and oil stay apart. But researchers from Chalmers University in Sweden and NASA’s Jet ...

This artist's concept of a lake at the north pole of Saturn's moon Titan illustrates raised rims and rampartlike features such as those seen by NASA's Cassini spacecraft around the moon's Winnipeg ...

An international team of planetary scientists studied archival data from the Cassini spacecraft — designed to study Saturn and its satellites — which yielded new clues to three strange oceans on the ...

Saturn’s orange moon Titan has hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth, according to new Cassini data. The hydrocarbons rain from the sky, ...

If life exists on Saturn’s hydrogen- and methane-rich moon Titan, there will be two sure signs: hydrogen depletion near the lunar surface, and less acetylene than we’d expect. The Cassini probe has ...
