New close-up photos of Titan, Saturn's biggest moon, show its mysterious and massive dunes in more detail than ever before. NASA's Cassini orbiter obtained these images when it flew by Titan for ...

There are dark and massive fields of sand dunes on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan, and this week two scientific papers look at how they came to be. Titan's 300-foot-high sand dunes were formed ...

Dunes form as a result of interactions between the drifting sand and the blowing wind; thus, their existence by itself means that meteorology plays an important role in shaping the surface of Titan.

The towering dunes on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, may look similar to the sandy hills of Earth's Sahara, but their origins are completely different, researchers say.

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, is one of the few solar system bodies — and the only planetary moon — known to have fields of wind-blown dunes on its surface. (The others are Venus, Earth, and ...

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, appears to have a large area of dunes, according to new images released by the U.S. space agency. The radar images came from NASA’s Cassini probe as it made a ...

Saturn’s largest moon Titan has an enigmatic air fit for a Dune script. Covered in dark, ridged dunes and craters, the world is wrapped in a golden atmosphere and thought to contain a liquid ...

The dunes on Saturn’s moon Titan may be made up of the remains of smaller moons that once smashed together and ground each other into sand. Titan has sand dunes covering about 17 per cent of its ...

Sand dunes on Saturn's moon Titan vary according to latitude and elevation, according to data acquired by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The finding could shed light on Titan's climatic and geological ...

The nature of Titan’s sand has long been pondered. Beneath the moon’s tangerine skies drift some 15 million square kilometers of dusky dunes (SN: 5/23/06).These waves of sand are about as big ...

Saturn’s moon Titan has huge regions covered with dunes, possibly made out of ice crystals or sand, international space scientists reported this week. Images of Titan beamed back to Earth from ...
