The faraway moon has 'a slushy high-pressure ice layer' similar to the melting Arctic that could hide extraterrestrial life.

Careful reanalysis of data from more than a decade ago indicates that Saturn's biggest moon, Titan, does not have a vast ...

"There is strong justification for continued optimism regarding the potential for extraterrestrial life," said one of the ...

Decades ago, a spacecraft suggested Saturn's largest moon, Titan, had an ocean. New observations suggest that the liquid may look more like slush.

For years, scientists thought Saturn’s moon Titan hid a global ocean beneath its frozen surface. A new look at Cassini data ...

The original ocean hypothesis came from how Titan physically deforms as it orbits Saturn. As the moon follows an elliptical ...

Recent research suggests that Uranus and Neptune, long classified as “ice giants,” might instead be rock giants.

Uranus and Neptune may not be the icy worlds we’ve long imagined. A new Swiss-led study uses innovative hybrid modeling to reveal that these planets could just as easily be dominated by rock as by ...

Fresh simulations show there is a chance Uranus and Neptune might actually be rock-rich worlds wrapped in thinner icy layers.

Saturn's moon Titan is shown in the foreground, with Saturn looming behind it. This image was captured by the Cassini spacecraft on May 22 ...

A team of researchers from the University of Zurich and the NCCR PlanetS is challenging our understanding of the solar system planets' interior. The composition of Uranus and Neptune, the two ...

This achievement led to the identification of a previously unknown crystallization pathway in water and resulted in the ...
