The hydrocarbon lakes of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, may host chemical mechanisms capable of forming structures resembling ...
"Titan's atmosphere is made up mainly of nitrogen and methane, with 50% higher pressure at its surface than on Earth," said Andrew Coates (UCL Mullard Space Science Laboratory), who led the study.
Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, appears to have the right ingredients and conditions for a certain kind of tiny bubble to form ...
Titan has always been an unusual moon. Unlike most of the solar system’s large moons, it has a substantial atmosphere that is largely comprised of nitrogen (like Earth’s).
Shortly before it plunged into Saturn's atmosphere in late 2017, NASA's Cassini spacecraft made an incredible observation about the ringed planet's moon, Titan – its lakes are extraordinarily ...
Scientists have performed laboratory experiments to better understand how Saturn's moon Titan can maintain its unique nitrogen-rich atmosphere. Titan is the second largest moon in our solar ...
There's something very peculiar about the atmosphere surrounding Titan, Saturn's largest moon: rather than staying constantly fixed in line with its surface, the atmosphere wobbles across the ...
A new study finds that Saturn's cloud-covered moon Titan is more Earth-like than previously thought. Titan's atmosphere has layers, just like Earth's, scientists say.
As Titan has an atmosphere slightly thicker than Earth's, and temperatures that are cold but not frigid, a rotor-based drone could easily buzz around the lively moon.
A moon with atmosphere And what about Titan? Why did it get an atmosphere when, for example, none of Jupiter's big moons, which are a lot closer to the sun, did?
HONOLULU (AP) – Scientists studying the atmosphere of Saturn's moon, Titan, hope their research will reveal clues about the nature of Earth's atmosphere billions of years ago.
