A single scenario could explain some of the odd features of Saturn's cosmic neighborhood. A project that set out to seek the origin of the planet's rings and why Titan’s orbit is expanding may have ...

There's something very peculiar about the atmosphere surrounding Titan, Saturn's largest moon: rather than staying constantly fixed in line with its surface, the atmosphere wobbles across the course ...

Saturn’s moon Titan has always stood out among the celestial bodies in our solar system. It is the only moon with a thick, hazy atmosphere, and it's often compared to a primitive Earth. But now, ...

The puzzling behavior of Titan's atmosphere has been revealed. The team has shown that the thick, hazy atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon doesn't spin in line with its surface, but instead wobbles ...

Under this new model, Titan itself is the result of a collision between two earlier moons: a large body called “Proto-Titan,” nearly as massive as modern Titan, and a smaller companion dubbed ...

How can seasons on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, influence its atmosphere? This is what a recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated ...

As detailed in a new paper published in The Planetary Science Journal, a team of scientists analyzed 13 years’ worth of thermal infrared observations recorded by NASA and the European Space Agency’s ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. We tend to think of the weather as mundane, the sort of boring things you talk about when you have nothing else to say, but in the ...

Purple haze around Titan – A false-colour image of Titan captured in 2004 by the Cassini spacecraft. The purple haze shows the dense atmosphere enveloping the moon’s golden body. The puzzling ...

A massive upheaval in the Saturnian system could have also led to the moon Hyperion.

Cassini data reveal Titan's atmosphere wobbles like a gyroscope, drifting seasonally instead of spinning in sync with the moon's surface. By analysing data from the Cassini-Huygens mission, a joint ...
