(PhysOrg.com) -- When it flies by Saturn's largest moon, Titan, this weekend, NASA's Cassini spacecraft will study the interactions between the magnetic field of Saturn and Titan. The flyby will take place the evening of Dec. 11 California time, or shortly after midnight Universal Time on Dec. 12. http://www.physorg.com/news180032789.html Space & Earth Mon, 14 Dec 2009 17:40:02 EST news180032789 A new and likely controversial paper has just been published online in Nature Geoscience by LSU Department of Geography and Anthropology Chair Patrick Hesp and United States Geological Survey scientist David Rubin. The paper, "Multiple origins of linear dunes on Earth and Titan," examines a possible new mechanism for the development of very large linear dunes formed on the surface of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. http://www.physorg.com/news170435933.html Space & Earth Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:19:44 EST news170435933 (PhysOrg.com) -- Cloud chasers studying Saturn's moon Titan say its clouds form and move much like those on Earth, but in a much slower, more lingering fashion. http://www.physorg.com/news163266644.html Space & Earth Wed, 03 Jun 2009 16:51:38 EST news163266644 (PhysOrg.com) -- Titan's vast dune fields, which may act like weather vanes to determine general wind direction on Saturn's biggest moon, have been mapped by scientists who compiled four years of radar data collected by the Cassini spacecraft. http://www.physorg.com/news154966417.html Space & Earth Fri, 27 Feb 2009 14:14:26 EST news154966417 A team of international scientists led by Mirjam Langhans, from the German Aerospace Center (DLR), will present first results of a global analysis of spatial patterns, occurrence and origin of river channels on Titan at the European Planetary Science Congress in Potsdam, Germany, on Wednesday 16 September. http://www.physorg.com/news172306246.html Space & Earth Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:50:08 EST news172306246 (PhysOrg.com) -- Saturn's largest moon, Titan, may have a subterranean ocean of hydrocarbons and some topsy-turvy topography in which the summits of its mountains lie lower than its average surface elevation, according to new research. http://www.physorg.com/news158234875.html Space & Earth Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:08:19 EST news158234875 (PhysOrg.com) -- If a suggestion to be made to NASA comes to fruition, vast lakes thought to be filled with liquid hydrocarbons near the north pole of Saturn's moon Titan, may one day be explored by boat. http://www.physorg.com/news180680793.html Space & Earth Tue, 22 Dec 2009 07:10:01 EST news180680793 Saturn`s orange moon Titan has hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth, according to new Cassini data. The hydrocarbons rain from the sky, collecting in vast deposits that form lakes and dunes. http://www.physorg.com/news122133934.html Space & Earth Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:05:34 EST news122133934 NASA's Cassini spacecraft has discovered evidence that points to the existence of an underground ocean of water and ammonia on Saturn's moon Titan. The findings made using radar measurements of Titan's rotation will appear in the March 21 issue of the journal Science. http://www.physorg.com/news125243334.html Space & Earth Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:48:54 EST news125243334 Something is about to happen on Saturn that's so pretty, even Hubble will pause to take a look. http://www.physorg.com/news154282058.html Space & Earth Thu, 19 Feb 2009 16:08:06 EST news154282058 (PhysOrg.com) -- "Fly me to the moon"-to Saturn's moon Titan, that is. New Titan movies and images are providing a bird's-eye view of the moon's Earth-like landscapes. http://www.physorg.com/news157136508.html Space & Earth Tue, 24 Mar 2009 18:02:26 EST news157136508 On 24 February 2009, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captured a photo sequence of four moons of Saturn passing in front of their parent planet. The moons, from far left to right, are the white icy moons Enceladus and Dione, the large orange moon Titan, and icy Mimas. Due to the angle of the Sun, they are each preceded by their own shadow. http://www.physorg.com/news156514110.html Space & Earth Tue, 17 Mar 2009 13:09:01 EST news156514110 The most advanced and powerful electron microscope on the planet -capable of unprecedented resolution -has been installed in the new Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy at McMaster University. http://www.physorg.com/news143712677.html Nanotechnology Mon, 20 Oct 2008 09:11:17 EST news143712677 Instruments on NASA's Cassini spacecraft have found evidence for seas, likely filled with liquid methane or ethane, in the high northern latitudes of Saturn's moon Titan. One such feature is larger than any of the Great Lakes of North America and is about the same size as several seas on Earth. http://www.physorg.com/news93017565.html Space & Earth Tue, 13 Mar 2007 15:12:45 EST news93017565 Get a whiff of this: Titania, UC Botanical Garden's corpse flower, is being pollinated today.
