Titan is likely to remain in the spotlight for the foreseeable future. Its thick atmosphere and vast surface lakes of liquid ...
The original ocean hypothesis came from how Titan physically deforms as it orbits Saturn. As the moon follows an elliptical ...
Recent analysis of Cassini spacecraft data shows Saturn’s moon Titan likely lacks a global subsurface ocean, revealing a high ...
A suspected subsurface ocean on Pluto might be old and deep. New analyses of images from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft suggest that the dwarf planet has had an underground ocean since shortly after ...
The creation of Sputnik Planum may have caused Pluto to shift on its axis, accidentally revealing a hidden liquid ocean in the process. The 1300 km-long, 900-km wide basin, located in the icy ...
For more than a decade, scientists have accepted that Titan, Saturn’s biggest moon, has a subsurface ocean of liquid water. A ...
For decades, astronomers have puzzled as to why a bright, heart shaped region on Pluto, known as Tombaugh Regio, appears to be rotationally locked to face the dwarf planet's largest moon, Charon. Data ...
Saturn's moon Titan is an odd world. Studied in close detail by NASA's Cassini mission and other spacecraft, Titan is so cold that seas and lakes of liquid methane and ethane form on its surface. But ...
