Saturn's largest moon, Titan, is the first known planetary body besides Earth to have such a peculiar polar wind. NASA's Cassini orbiter, which has been investigating Saturn since 2004, measured evidence of the effect as it flew through Titan's atmosphere and magnetic tail over the course of...
On Titan, the frigid temperatures allow them to exist as liquids. Lakes on the frosty moon are filled with the stuff, and it rains down from the sky just like liquid water does here on Earth. The question of whether life would be possible on Titan is a complicated one. Scientists think...
six years by a NASA spacecraft in orbit around Saturn, astronomers have created a global map of the surface ofTitan(土卫六:土星的最大一颗卫星,离该行星的距离列第14位,它是太阳系中第二大卫星), the ringed planet's largest moon, and it features some surprisingly Earth-like geological features...

(see below). In addition, propene – aka. propylene, a class of hydrocarbon – has also been detected in Titan's atmosphere. This is the first time propene has been found on any moon or planet other than Earth, and is thought to be formed from recombined radicals created by the UV ...
could have contained the necessary building blocks for life, including nucleobases and amino acids. This study holds the potential to not only help scientists better understand the conditions on an early Earth, but also if these same conditions on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, could produce the...
astronomers, and government space agencies likeNASA, largely because many icy moons of the giant planets are thought to have large subsurface oceans of liquid water. Titan, for example, is thought to have an ocean beneath its icy surface that is more than 12 times the volume of Earth’s oce...
