Because of its extremely cold temperature, the liquids on Titan are made of hydrocarbons like methane and ethane, and the surface is made of solid water ice. A new study published in The Planetary ...

SwRI is studying how Saturn’s largest moon maintains its thick atmosphere. Scientists think Titan’s core is covered by several layers of ice and a subsurface liquid ocean. New experiments indicate ...

Titan, Saturn's largest moon, might have a more violent past than astronomers realized. A new study suggests that the liquid methane lakes that dot Titan's surface may have formed when pockets of ...

The source of Titan’s hazy methane clouds is unclear. After analyzing tens of thousands of images of Titan’s surface the surface taken by Cassini’s, the researchers did not find an obvious ...

To understand the persistent thick atmosphere on Saturn’s largest moon, SwRI worked with the Carnegie Institution for Science Laboratory to create conditions mimicking those at Titan’s rocky core.

Twenty years ago, the Huygens probe achieved humanity's first landing on a moon in the outer solar system when it touched down on Titan.
