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 ...

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 ...

The puzzling behavior of Titan's atmosphere has been revealed by researchers at the University of Bristol for the first time. By analyzing data from the Cassini-Huygens mission, a joint venture ...

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, ...

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 ...

Saturn’s largest moon might not be the barren world it seems. Beneath Titan’s icy crust lies a vast ocean of liquid water—possibly as deep as 300 miles. While its surface hosts lakes of methane and ...

After the Cassini spacecraft flew by Saturn’s moon Titan, scientists were left with some puzzling evidence. Flows on the moon’s surface appeared to be eruptions of frozen oxygen, methane, and ammonia.

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 ...

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 ...
