Did researchers just solve a decades-old mystery?

Astronomers Say They Found "Dry Lake Beds" on Saturn's Moon Titan

NASA just discovered that Saturn's moon Titan is creeping out into space 100 times faster than they previously thought it was.

Nyoom!

It's escaping 100 times faster than NASA previously believed.

Planetary scientist James O'Donoghue announced a definitive ranking of all the "ringed planet" emojis out there, based on which looked most like Saturn.

No Fun Allowed

He called Twitter's version "the most offensive of all."

Former NASA Scientist Absolutely Shreds Planet Emojis

Scientists discovered 20 more tiny moons orbiting Saturn, meaning the gas giant is the new record holder within the confines of our solar system.

Astronomers Just Found 20 More Moons Around Saturn

A team of researchers found traces of organic compounds in plumes that burst from Saturn's moon Enceladus. A sign of life if all the conditions are right.

Life Plumes

More evidence that Saturn's moon Enceladus is one of the best places to look for life.

Scientists Find Building Blocks of Life on Saturn's Icy Moon

Scientists are suggesting that the methane-filled lakes on the surface of Saturn's largest moon Titan could have been formed by massive explosions.

Blowed Up

Pockets of warming nitrogen gas could've blown massive craters into the moon's surface.

Huge Explosions May Have Formed Lakes on Saturn's Moon Titan

Scientists have created a theoretical model of Saturn that posits that the gas giant's liquid interior is viscous, flowing like honey.

Flow With It

It would solve a mystery involving the planet's powerful jet streams.

Saturn's Interior May Actually Flow "Like Honey"

Astrobiologists believe that the answer to what alien life could look like on icy moons like Saturn's moon Enceladus could lie deep on the ocean floor.

Aliens in Hawaii

An underwater volcano near the Big Island of Hawaii could be the perfect analog for Saturn's moon Enceladus.

Aliens on Icy Moons Could Look Like Organisms Near Seafloor Volcanoes

As part of project Dragonfly, NASA is planning to send a small spacecraft to Saturn's moon Titan, a moon with an extremely dense atmosphere.

Project Dragonfly

The Dragonfly mission will send a tiny rotorcraft to the ocean world to look for signs of life.

Breaking: NASA Announces Mission to Saturn's Largest Moon Titan

By analyzing data from Cassini spacecraft's last flyby in 2017, scientists found that Saturn's largest moon Titan has an entire lake district.
