NASA research has shown that cell-like compartments called vesicles could form naturally in the lakes of Saturn's moon Titan.

Of course, the liquid on Titan isn't water — that would be impossible, considering that surface temperatures hover around minus 290 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 179 Celsius).

Cassini found the surface temperature responds more rapidly to sunlight changes than does the thick atmosphere. Its changing circulation pattern produces clouds in Titan’s equatorial region.

The images from the Cassini spacecraft provide the best evidence yet that lakes, or even seas, exist on Titan’s surface, team members said.

The spacecraft Cassini will become a streak of ash when it tumbles into Saturn on Friday. Less than a million miles away, the probe Huygens, which Cassini launched onto Saturn's moon Titan, will ...

The first radar images of Saturn's moon Titan show a very complex geological surface that may be relatively young. Previously, Titan's surface was hidden behind a veil of thick haze.

Scientists have confirmed that at least one body in our solar system, other than Earth, has a surface liquid lake. Using an instrument on NASA's Cassini orbiter, they discovered that a lake-like ...

As Cassini zoomed past on its last close brush with Titan, headed toward its Grand Finale, the radar imaged a long swath of the surface that included terrain seen on the very first Titan flyby in ...

Still, the Cassini team remains confident that it will solve the mystery of what lies on Titan's surface sometime within the next four years.

On October 26, the Cassini spacecraft made its first close pass by Saturn’s planet-size moon, Titan. After a 7-year journey — the last 4 months of which were spent in orbit around Saturn ...
