Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, appears to have the right ingredients and conditions for a certain kind of tiny bubble to form ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), in collaboration with the ground-based Keck II telescope, has for the first time ...

But Cassini will also use Titan’s gravity to shift into its final orbit between Saturn and the planet’s rings, something that’s never been done before. That part doesn’t necessarily worry ...

Titan is large enough that it could be considered a planet if it orbited the sun on its own, and a flyby of the giant moon in Dec. 2013 simulated that scenario, from Cassini's vantage point.

After a "goodbye kiss" with Saturn's huge moon Titan, NASA's Cassini spacecraft should now be on course for its suicide dive into the ringed planet Friday (Sept. 15).

The flyby is also the beginning of the end for Cassini: Once it passes by Titan, its final 22 orbits over the next five months will be between Saturn and its famed rings, ending with a plunge into ...

NASA's Cassini spacecraft is on its way to a flyby of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, after capturing some stunning images of Enceladus. One view shows the hazy outline of Titan behind Saturn's ...

Two of those satellites, Titan and Enceladus, surprised Cassini scientists by having many of the right ingredients for life (SN: 9/2/17, p. 12). The craft has revamped our picture of Saturn and ...

NASA's Cassini probe zipped by Saturn's largest moon Titan on Tuesday (July 24) in a close flyby to search for a lake filled with liquid methane. The Cassini spacecraft flew within 629 miles ...

After arriving at the planet in 2004, Cassini dropped a probe that landed on Titan, and began mapping out Saturn’s rings and moons, among many other science tasks. After four years, Cassini’s ...

After 13 years, the Cassini spacecraft made one of its last passes of Saturn's moon Titan in an effort to learn more about its atmosphere. This, before the spacecraft disintegrates as it plunges ...
