Scientists have known for a while that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has rivers and seas of liquid methane on its surface.

The Dragonfly quadcopter will soar through Titan’s hazy skies and roam its dune seas in search of evidence that the distant ...

Despite its uniquely rich inventory of organic molecules, Saturn's largest moon, Titan ... described as "Earthlike on the surface, ocean world on the inside," Titan is the target for future ...

This composite image shows an infrared view of Titan from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, acquired during a high-altitude fly-by, 6,200 miles above the moon, on Nov. 13, 2015. The view features the ...

Most of Titan's organic material is at the surface, not in the underground ocean. Though this same team of researchers has previously suggested that meteorites slamming into the moon could create ...

The idea is that these organic molecules eventually settle on Titan's surface and, through a mix of material exchange and possible geochemical processes, find their way down into the moon's hidden ...

Unlike other icy moons, Titan is covered in sandy material and has lakes of liquid methane on its surface, because ... much life could be supported on the moon from its supply of organic molecules.
