Saturn’s moon Titan shows a sharp contrast between its smooth and rough edges in a new false-color radar image. Titan’s surface lies beneath a thick coat of hazy clouds, but Cassini’s radar instrument ...
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. “Unveiling Titan ...
These images of Titan’s south polar region were acquired during Cassini’s first distant encounter with the smog-enshrouded moon on July 2, 2004. The spacecraft approached Titan at a distance of about ...
The six close-up views of Titan’s surface shown here are composed of images acquired by the Cassini spacecraft during flybys in October (see Titan Mosaic: October 2004) and December (see Titan Mosaic: ...
This artist’s concept of a lake at the north pole of Saturn’s moon Titan illustrates raised rims and rampart-like features such as those seen by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft around the moon’s Winnipeg ...
As spring continues to unfold on Saturn, April showers on the planet's largest moon, Titan, have brought methane rain to its equatorial deserts, as revealed in images captured by NASA's Cassini ...
Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, is often described as one of the most Earth-like places in the solar system. It features vast river networks, expansive lakes, and a thick nitrogen-rich atmosphere. But ...
On Dec. 25, 2004, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft dropped a lander named Huygens at Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. Huygens was a European spacecraft that hitched a ride to the Saturn system with Cassini.
image: RIGHT IMAGE: The visual and infrared mapping spectrometer (VIMS) aboard NASA's Cassini orbiter captured this detailed, partial view of Titan's Ontario Lacus at 5 microns wavelength from 1,100 ...
Cassini captured this image of Saturn with it’s largest moon, Titan, in the foreground on August 29, 2012. (Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSI) An analysis of gravity and topography data from Saturn’s ...
Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, is a surprisingly dynamic world, with a thick atmosphere and surface oceans of liquid methane. Like the fictional land of Westeros in Game of Thrones, seasons on ...
