Some ice moons of the Solar System may hide more than it seems. Under their frozen surfaces, scientists have long imagined the presence of underground oceans, suitable for life. Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is one of these closely monitored worlds. For years, the data collected by the Cassini probe seemed to confirm the existence of a vast liquid ocean under its crust. But a new analysis challenges this scenario. It draws another face of Titan'…
Absence Of A Subsurface Ocean On Titan Indicated By Cassini Data - Astrobiology
The Cassini spacecraft orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017, performing over a hundred flybys of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. Ten of these flybys were dedicated to gravity field measurements, yielding unprecedented insight into the moon’s interior structure. The first four flybys revealed a weakly differentiated deep interior compared to Ganymede, consisting of a large (~2000 […] The post Absence Of A Subsurface Ocean On Titan Indicated By Cassini …
