A new study has revealed that methane gas may be trapped within the icy surface of Saturn's moon Titan, forming a distinct crust up to six miles thick, which warms the underlying ice shell and may ...
Titan was discovered in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens, who named it simply "Luna Saturni," meaning Saturn's moon. Later on, it was renamed after the Titans , a group of Greek ...
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.
A 6-mile-thick shell of methane ice on Saturn's moon Titan could assist in the hunt for life signs arising from this moon's vast subsurface ocean.
