Scientists found Titan’s orbit is shifting faster than expected due to tidal dissipation. A recent cosmic event likely ...

Scientists are studying Saturn's moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate, the energy lost as it orbits the ringed planet with its massive gravitational force. Understanding tidal dissipation ...

Titan is the only moon in our solar system with a significant atmosphere. Now we have a very good idea of how this dense atmosphere formed.

Scientists are unraveling the mysteries of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, and its dense nitrogen-rich atmosphere. Despite its ...

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 ...

What can a moon’s tidal friction teach us about its formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Science ...

Dr. Kelly Miller from the South West Research Institute and Lead author of a paper about Titan’s atmosphere said “While just 40% the diameter of the Earth, Titan has an atmosphere 1.5 times as dense ...

In over 40 flybys of Titan, the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft managed to 'see' the surface of the moon with its radar experiment and an infrared camera. By the end of the mission, the Cassini orbiter had ...

Titan is the second largest moon in our solar system and the only ... the journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta. "Walking on the surface of Titan would feel a bit like scuba diving." ...
