Strike-slip faults on Titan. Saturn’s moon, Titan, has surface temperatures of around minus 290 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 179 degrees Celsius).

This effect is particularly interesting in the case of large icy moons like Ganymede, Callisto, and Titan, but also for cold ocean exoplanets like Trappist 1e-g and water-rich rogue exoplanets." ...

Two recent studies published in Icarus examine tectonic processes known as shear stresses which are also referred to as strike-slip faults on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, and Saturn’s largest moon, ...

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists are studying Saturn's moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate, the energy lost as it orbits the ringed planet with its massive gravitational ...

Titan is easily one of the most unique bodies known to exist. It's the second-largest moon in our solar system behind Jupiter's Ganymede, and the only body with a complex atmosphere suitable for life.

Earth and space scientists document and reveal the mechanisms behind strike-slip faulting on the largest moon of Saturn, Titan, and Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede.

A “remarkably young” ocean may be hiding beneath the icy cratered surface of Saturn’s “Death Star” moon – making it “a prime candidate” for studying the origins of life, scientists ...

Titan is easily one of the most unique bodies known to exist. It's the second-largest moon in our solar system behind Jupiter's Ganymede, and the only body with a complex atmosphere suitable for life.

This finding dooms Titan as a major candidate for finding life outside of our own planet and may also condemn other icy moons in the outer solar system, including Jupiter's Europa and Ganymede and ...

Both Ganymede and Titan have greater surface area than the entire Eurasian continent on our planet. The distance from the spacecraft to Ganymede is 26.5 million km.

A new study revealed that a massive asteroid may have hit Jupiter’s moon Ganymede about 4 billion years ago, shifting the moon on its axis.
