Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists are studying Saturn's moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate, the ...

What can a moon’s tidal friction teach us about its formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Science ...

An event called a "ring plane crossing" will occur between Saturn and Earth on March 23, 2025, when Saturn's rings will ...

Scientists are unraveling the mysteries of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, and its dense nitrogen-rich atmosphere. Despite its ...

SwRI studied Saturn’s moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate, the energy lost as it orbits the ringed planet with its massive gravitational force. Understanding tidal dissipation helps ...

Scientists studying Saturn's icy moon, Enceladus, have discovered that its ocean forms layers that slow the upward movement ...

Dr. Kelly Miller from the South West Research Institute and Lead author of a paper about Titan’s atmosphere said “While just 40% the diameter of the Earth, Titan has an atmosphere 1.5 times as dense ...
