Molecular hydrogen (40 km-atmospheres) forms the principal part, methane (CH4) is indisputably present (0.35 km-atmosphere), and the existence of ammonia (NH3) is hypothesized, although it may be present in the clouds in the form of aerosols. There is reason to believe that Saturn’s ...
Its atmosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with a complex layering of gases and liquids beneath its clouds. Saturn's rings, not found on Earth, are among the most striking features of any planet in our solar system, visible even with small telescopes. 5 Earth's single ...
was caused by racism species-ism between uplifted pigs (to human sentience levels) and humans. The habitat was one of thousands that formed the Glitter Band orbiting the planet Yellowstone. Humans had arrived at Yellowstone centuries earlier but the planet has an unbreathable atmosphere, so that...
"CIRS acts as a remote-sensing thermometer and as a chemical probe, picking out the heat radiation emitted by individual gases in an atmosphere," said F. Michael Flasar, the CIRS principal investigator at Goddard. "And the instrument does it all remotely, while passing by a planet or moon....
Beneath Titan's dense yellow atmosphere, rivers of methane and ethane run over the moon's surface. (Image credit: Getty / MARK GARLICK / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY) Scientists recreated the unique chemical conditions found on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, in tiny glass cylinders here on Earth, ...
The LDMS sample chamber is maintained at sub-ambient (∼40 mbar) pressure of 2.9% CH4/N2 gas mixture (Air Liquide America Specialty Gases custom mix) mimicking the Titan atmosphere (i.e., “Titan Mix”) to create a pressure gradient that helps carry ions into the LIT assembly upon ...
Titan, which is 50 percent larger than Earth's Moon, has an atmosphere that's rich in nitrogen – and contains some methane, hydrogen and other gases – where liquids made of organic compounds rain down on its surface. The moon's surface temperature is a bone-chilling −179.2 degrees Cel...
the ring atmosphere and possible connections to the inflowing material in Sect.8. Finally, we briefly explore the relationship between the main ring composition and the ring moons in Sect.9, before summarizing our conclusions in Sect.10.
