There’s a mystery about Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, that has been puzzling astronomers for many years — where did its thick, nitrogen-rich atmosphere come from? Titan is the only moon in our Solar ...

Cassini-Huygens supplied new evidence about why Titan has an atmosphere, making it unique among all solar system moons, a University of Arizona planetary scientist says. Scientists can infer from ...

How can seasons on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, influence its atmosphere? This is what a recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated ...

Titan may have a home-baked atmosphere. Saturn’s largest moon gets some of its thick atmosphere by cooking organic molecules in a warm core, a new study suggests. The decay of radioactive elements may ...

Nobody was expecting very strong energy dissipation inside Titan,” says Flavio Petricca, a postdoctoral fellow at NASA’s Jet ...

NASA scientists have discovered a “weird” molecule called cyclopropenylidene, or C 3 H 2, in the atmosphere of Saturn’s moon Titan. The simple carbon-based molecule has never been seen in an ...

Scientists at UCL have observed how a widespread polar wind is driving gas from the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan. The team analysed data gathered over seven years by the international Cassini ...
