Titan’s harsh chemistry breaks basic rules, offering new clues about how life’s building blocks might form in space.

The discovery that molecules of methane and ethane can worm their way into the crystal lattice of frozen hydrogen cyanide has ...

Some substances that don't mix on Earth can combine in ultra freezing conditions like those on Saturn's largest moon, ...

Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, has the ingredients for life, but scientists aren't sure what the chances are that it's inhabited. Saturn’s largest moon Titan may be among the most Earth-like ...

A particular cornerstone of prebiotic chemistry is hydrogen cyanide, which, under the right conditions, forms compounds that ...

Heads up stargazers! The shadow of Saturn's largest moon Titan will skim across the gas giant's swirling cloud tops in the early morning hours of Sept. 4. Here's everything you need to know about how ...

Scientists from NASA and Chalmers University have discovered that incompatible substances can mix on Titan’s icy surface, breaking the “like dissolves like” rule of chemistry. Under ultra-cold ...

After the Cassini spacecraft flew by Saturn’s moon Titan, scientists were left with some puzzling evidence. Flows on the moon’s surface appeared to be eruptions of frozen oxygen, methane, and ammonia.

Twenty years ago today, I watched TV coverage of a probe descending toward the surface of Titan, a moon of Saturn, while outside my home in Utah snow dusted a rocky mountain outcrop I’d nicknamed ...

Saturn’s largest moon might not be the barren world it seems. Beneath Titan’s icy crust lies a vast ocean of liquid water—possibly as deep as 300 miles. While its surface hosts lakes of methane and ...

Photo cuts through haze to reveal some of the features on moon's surface. This composite image shows an infrared view of Saturn's moon Titan from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, acquired during the mission ...
