Saturn's moon News
Titan is the largest of Saturn's many moons and the second-largest in the solar system.
Out of the two missions, which one will actually be finalised will be known by 2019.
Using data from Cassini mission, scientists including those from University College London (UCL) in the UK, identified negatively charged molecules called 'carbon chain anions' in the atmosphere of Titan.
Researchers found evidence that the moon's spin axis - the line through the north and south poles - has reoriented.
NASA's Cassini spacecraft will make its final close encounter with Saturn's haze-enshrouded moon Titan on Friday.
The US space agency NASA has made a big revelation on its new discoveries on ocean worlds in our solar system on Thursday.
The US space agency has released a anaglyphs, stereo views and quirky shape of Saturn's moon Pan.
The release of nitrogen, known as exsolution, can also occur when methane seas warm slightly during the changing seasons on Titan.
The finding agrees with the results of a 2016 study by a team independent of the Cassini mission that estimated the thickness of Enceladus' icy crust.
The US space agency, NASA has released a breathtaking view of rayed crater on Saturn's moon, Dione.
The US space agency NASA has released a close-up and highest-resolution image of Saturn's moon 'Pandora'.
A similar incident occurred decades ago, when the infrared instrument on NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft spotted an ice cloud just like this one on Titan.
The view in the image looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 8 degrees above the ring plane.
NASA is working on sending a submarine into the depths of the Kraken Mare, Inverse.com reported on Saturday.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 29, 2015.
NASA's Cassini has returned some stunning images of the Saturn's two moons, Dione and Enceladus on Wednesday. Though the surface of these two moons are made up of nearly the same material but Enceladus has a considerably higher reflectivity than Dione.
Titan's image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 25, 2015 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of near-infrared light centered at 938 nanometers.
Cassini is the first spacecraft to orbit Saturn, and it has been circling the planet since 2004.
