Efrain Morales captured the image of Titan's shadow darkening Saturn on July 18, while the gas giant was over 800 million ...

Titan, the largest moon of Saturn was discovered by Dutch astronomer Christian Huygens in 1655 and certainly deserves its name. With a diameter of no less than 5,150 km, it is larger than Mercury ...

Titan's thick clouds occlude a visible-light view of the moon's surface, but Cassini came equipped with a radar instrument that allowed it to map Titan's mountains, canyons, and, indeed, shorelines.

Saturn’s moon Titan ripples with mountains, and scientists have been trying to figure out how they form. The best explanation, it turns out, is that Titan is shrinking as it cools, wrinkling up ...

The hazy, golden atmosphere of Titan kept the moon shrouded in mystery for much of human history. However, when NASA's Cassini spacecraft arrived at Saturn in 2004, our views of Titan changed forever.

Saturn’s moon Titan has always stood out among the celestial bodies in our solar system. It is the only moon with a thick, hazy atmosphere, and it's often compared to a primitive Earth.

Titan, 3,200 miles (5,150 km) wide, is our solar system's second-biggest moon behind Jupiter's Ganymede and is larger than the planet Mercury. Titan and Earth are the only worlds in the solar ...

Scientists have discovered that the icy shell of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, could possess an insulated, six-mile-thick (9.7-kilometer-thick) layer of methane ice beneath its surface.

Astronomers believe the mysterious “magic islands” on Saturn’s moon Titan are honeycomb-like frozen clumps of organic material that fall like snow on the moon.

The Cassini spacecraft captured this color portrait of Saturn and Titan only a few minutes before the haze-enshrouded moon slipped behind the planet’s enormous bulk. Credit: NASA/JPL.
