Alien life could exist on the huge Saturn moon Titan, but probably not in the abundance scientists once hoped, according to a ...

Despite its Earth-like rivers and lakes of liquid methane, Saturn’s moon Titan seems oddly lacking in river deltas — geological formations that are typically rich in historical clues. Using data from ...

With rivers, lakes and even seas made of liquid methane and ethane, plus a hidden underground ocean of water, Saturn's moon Titan has long fascinated scientists as a place where alien life might ...

Titan’s coastlines lack river deltas, surprising scientists and raising questions about its active surface processes.

Crater shape analysis on Titan suggests its icy crust is composed of a 10 km methane clathrate layer above 5 km of conductive ice, with warm convective ice beneath at 256.5 K. Simulations indicate ...

With NASA's landmark mission Dragonfly "drone"mission to Saturn's moon Titan set for launch in 2028, a new study suggests ...

That’s why NASA sent the Mars rover to Jezero Crater, which contains a well-preserved delta. And it’s why researchers are so ...

Apr. 15, 2025 — First ever supercomputer simulations of Mars with a fully molten core could explain the Red Planet's unusual magnetic field. Billions of years ago, Mars had an active magnetic field.

New research finds that despite large rivers and seas of liquid methane, Saturn’s moon Titan seems mostly devoid of river deltas, raising new questions about the surface dynamics on this alien world.
