Early risers will get a rare opportunity to see something extraordinary in the early hours of July 18 — the dark shadow of ...

The NASA/ESA Cassini-Huygens mission explored Saturn and its moons from 2004 to 2017, providing the most detailed images and data on the system ever taken. This included Saturn's largest moon, Titan, ...

But the Webb telescope, which launched almost a year ago, has infrared eyes that can see through Titan’s haze. Image An annotated version of the same image as above, indicating a few features ...

Planets like Saturn's moon Titan, one of the most potentially habitable places in the solar system, could reveal their secrets to future telescopes.

That telescope helped see clouds two days later, on Nov. 6. It's currently unclear if these are the same clouds and they've changed shape -- or completely new clouds. Titan's clouds are expected ...

But when Nixon and his team examined Titan's atmosphere with ALMA (the Atacama Large Millimeter Array, a radio telescope in Chile) in 2020, they found no evidence of pyridine or pyrimidine.

Early analysis of the radio-telescope data shows that Titan’s wind flows from west to east, in the direction of the moon’s rotation, at all altitudes. The highest wind speed, nearly 270 mph ...

It was a cloudy day on Titan. That was clear on the morning of Nov. 5 when Sébastien Rodriguez, an astronomer at the Université Paris Cité, downloaded the first images of Saturn’s biggest ...
