New research finds that despite large rivers and seas of liquid methane, Saturn's moon Titan seems mostly devoid of river deltas, raising new questions about the surface dynamics on this alien world.
"We conclude that Titan's uniquely rich organic inventory may not in fact be available to play the role in the moon's habitability to the extent one might intuitively think." With rivers ...
A recent study suggests that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, could potentially harbor a small amount of life beneath its hazy ...
Despite its uniquely rich inventory of organic molecules, the moon may be able to support only a minuscule amount of biomass, ...
Saturn’s largest moon might not be the barren world it seems. Beneath Titan’s icy crust lies a vast ocean of liquid water—possibly as deep as 300 miles. While its surface hosts lakes of ...
ALIEN life could be hiding away on the vast ocean of a nearby moon. Scientists say there’s a chance that a “small population” ...
There could be about a dog’s worth of microbes on Titan. That’s one conclusion from a recent study that refused to rule out ...
Besides Earth, Titan is seen as one of the most life-friendly places in the solar system. But it could only carry a few ...
That means, even if life does exist on Titan, it would be incredibly hard to find. The average number of microbes would be ...
