Pasadena, Calif. – Instruments on NASA’s Cassini spacecraft have found evidence for seas, likely filled with liquid methane or ethane, in the high northern latitudes of Saturn’s m… ...
Milpitas, CA (PRWEB) April 22, 2005 — In its closest flyby yet, the Cassini spacecraft with its Fairchild Imaging CCD sensors has captured new digital images of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan.
On January 14, 2005, the Huygens probe made history by landing on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, and sending back stunning data that gave us our first detailed look at this mysterious world. Now, on ...
The dynamic atmosphere of Saturn's haze-enshrouded moon Titan is revealed in the first Cassini Imaging Team report on Titan, to appear in the March 10 issue of Nature.
Seven years ago, the Cassini mission ended when the spacecraft dramatically crashed into Saturn, but the data it collected is still delivering results, revealing the secrets of Titan's oceans.
Lunine and other Huygens team members are still poring over the 219 minutes' worth of Titan images, and expect to learn more from the Cassini orbiter, which dropped off the probe last December and ...
