Observations carried out with the Cassini spacecraft have once again confirmed the theory that Saturn's moon Titan has lakes on its surface, after picturing Ontario Lacus located in the south pole of the body, an accumulation of liquid methane and ethane with a size larger than that of the Lake Ontario in the No... |

Exactly four years ago the Cassini-Huygens mission reached the Saturnian system and entered orbit around the ringed planet, in order to make a series of observations that would astonish the world. It is probably one of the most successful robotic missions to one of the gas giants conducted by NASA and the ESA and was... |

Typical cameras on-board orbiters sent in solar system exploration missions can only map the surface of a planet or a moon. Scientists seldom get the opportunity to look under the surface of a cosmic body without actually landing a robotic mission on the respective planet, and even so it would only be effective in st... |

NASA announced, in a recent statement, that the Cassini mission was extended by at least two years, in order to conduct more detailed studies of Saturn's exotic moons. The Cassini spacecraft along with the Huygens probe was launched into space in October 1997 and arrived at the Saturnian system in June 2004. Its... |

The moon Titan is the largest of all about 60 natural satellites orbiting around Saturn. In fact, it is larger than the smallest planet in the solar system, Mercury. Also, Titan is the only moon in the solar system known to have a thick atmosphere around it, filled with organic molecules, precursors to the appearance... |

New observations with the Cassini orbiter show that Saturn's moon Titan contains large quantities of hydrocarbon liquid, about a few hundred times more than the natural reserves found here on Earth. Hydrocarbon gas condenses into Titan's dense atmosphere, then it is raining down on its surface much in the s... |

Data collected by the Cassini spacecraft shows the presence of heavy negative ions in the upper regions of the second largest moon in the solar system, Saturn's Titan. Launched in 1997, the Cassini spacecraft reached Saturn in 2004; it had several missions, amongst which the study of the surface of Titan, and of... |

Have you ever imagined a tropical paradise at -274 °F (- 170 °C)? But on Earth…as such thing does exist on the Saturn's largest moon, Titan, the only moon in the Sun System large enough to have an atmosphere. Methane rainfall soaks dunes of ice or tar on Titan's arid deserts, like a frozen mirror image of E... |

Saturn's satellite, Titan, is 50 percent larger than our Moon in diameter, and it's even larger by diameter and mass than all known dwarf planets, like Mercury, even though the latter is more than twice as massive.One of the satellite's curiosities is a strange radio signal emitted at an extremely low... |

Titan, Saturn's largest satellite, may look like a future Earth after a massive heating process, said scientists who analyzed data sent from the zones below the murky atmosphere. Until very recently, this atmosphere inhibited understanding of Titan's surface, but the moon is currently undergoing study by t... |

Saturn, the sixth planet from the Sun, is a gas giant and the second largest in the solar system. Its weird properties, its rings and its large number of moons - the precise figure is uncertain - make the Saturnian system a freak show, attracting the attention of amateur and professional astronomers worldwide.First ... |

The spacecraft Cassini has just sent in clear photos of a sea on Saturn's moon, Titan, captured during the latest flyby. Also visible in the images are various features characteristic of a coastline, like channels, islands and bays.Cassini-Huygens is a space mission consisting of two main elements: the NASA Cas... |

It's obvious that, with the latest technologies, HDDs became faster and more efficient, but they still generate considerable amounts of heat and this alone endangers the mechanical components and raises the risk of drive failure. In order to avoid such unfortunate events, one may want to check some HDD coolers o... |

Saturn's moon, Titan, has a strange atmosphere, and astronomers are very interested in finding the source of the phenomena that led to the forming of the only nitrogen-rich mix of gases in the solar system. From this point of view, the atmospheric mixture is somewhat close to that of the Earth in complexity.Tita... |

We all knew HTC had an Apache follow-up named Titan in the works for about a month or so. That being said, its appearance in the FCC listings will not surprise anyone or at least none of the individuals that check the mobile phone news periodically.As we have already seen here, the Titan is a refreshed edition of HTC... |
