This opens the way for full-fledged examinations in the future about the seas on Titan, using the data from Cassini. Valerio Poggiali, a research associate at the Cornell Center for Astrophysics ...
The international Cassini spacecraft at Saturn has executed the course correction that will send it to destruction at the end of the week. The probe flew within 120,000km of the giant moon Titan ...
After analyzing tens of thousands of images of Titan’s surface the surface taken by Cassini’s, the researchers did not find an obvious source of the methane in Titan’s atmosphere ...
It seems that Titan’s polar regions have a rather unpredictable personality, and observations made by Cassini have shown that an expected hot spot near Titan’s pole had rapidly turned into a ...
Titan and Enceladus were the standout investigations. The former is a bizarre place where liquid methane rains from an orange sky and runs into huge lakes. Cassini put a small European robot ...
And then Cassini used it to lock onto Huygens ... an idea of the velocity of the Huygens probe as it went through the Titan atmosphere and how it changed with altitude, for example, and with ...
But it’s the moons that have stolen the show for we know now that Enceladus and Titan are thought to have the right conditions for life. On 15 September, we say farewell to this game-changing ...
Using the latest data from the ongoing Cassini–Huygens missions, laboratory measurements, and numerical simulations, this comprehensive reference examines the physical processes that shape Titan's ...
And NASA already has a good idea of where to explore. Back in the 2000s, NASA's Cassini spacecraft mapped entire sections of Titan's surface. Uncovering lakes of liquid methane and possible ice ...
That mystery changed in 2005 when the Cassini space probe arrived in orbit around Saturn and detached the Huygens lander, built by the European Space Agency, which penetrated Titan’s atmosphere ...
New Analysis of Cassini Data Yields Insights Into Titan's Seas July 16, 2024 — A new study of radar experiment data from the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn has yielded fresh insights related ...
