A new study suggests that the planet’s icy interior and liquid ocean could be insulated with a three-to-six-mile-thick layer ...

A six-mile-thick crust of methane trapped in water ice could explain many of the saturnian moon's weird properties ...

According to Schurmeier, methane clathrate is stronger and better insulating than regular water ice. A clathrate crust can keep Titan’s interior warm and make the water ice shell ductile. This implies ...

Scientists believe Saturn's largest moon, Titan, could be one of humanity's best bets to find some form of extraterrestrial ...

A new study, led by planetary scientists at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, revealed that methane gas may also be trapped ...

Notably, Earth's methane clathrate hydrates are found in the permafrost of Siberia and below the arctic seafloor. Titan, the ...

Saturn's largest moon ... the form of rivers, lakes and seas on its surface. Because of its extremely cold temperature, the liquids on Titan are made of hydrocarbons like methane and ethane ...

A new study hints at the possibility of life on Saturn's moon Titan, where methane-rich layers beneath its icy crust could harbor biomarkers from a hidden ocean. Scientists believe future missions ...
