Under this new model, Titan itself is the result of a collision between two earlier moons: a large body called “Proto-Titan,” ...

Recent research suggests that Saturn's bright rings and its largest moon, Titan, may have both originated in collisions among its moons. While Cassini's 13-year mission expanded our understanding of ...

At a glance, Saturn’s rings appear calm and pristine when observed from afar. These rings are quite narrow and consist mainly of water ice particles that uniformly circle Saturn in a symmetric ...

The collision may also be linked to the formation of the planet's iconic rings.

Saturn’s moon Titan has long been regarded as one of the most promising places in our solar system for the potential existence of life. With its thick atmosphere, organic compounds, and intriguing ...

Scientists suggest Titan formed from a giant moon collision that also may explain Saturn’s rings and strange moon orbits.

According to a NASA study, Saturn's moon Titan may be the most fantastically large slushie of all time. Based on a reexamination of data from the Cassini probe collected in 2012, the moon's ...

While all the ingredients are there, the moon's composition likely prevents them from coming together in any meaningful way. Reading time 3 minutes Saturn’s moon Titan is often pegged as one of the ...
