Scientists found Titan’s orbit is shifting faster than expected due to tidal dissipation. A recent cosmic event likely ...

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists are studying Saturn's moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate, the ...

Southwest Research Institute partnered with the Carnegie Institution for Science to perform laboratory experiments to better understand how Saturn's moon Titan can maintain its unique nitrogen-rich ...

Titan is the only moon in our solar system with a significant atmosphere. Now we have a very good idea of how this dense atmosphere formed.

Twenty years ago today, I watched TV coverage of a probe descending toward the surface of Titan, a moon of Saturn, while outside my home in Utah snow dusted a rocky mountain outcrop I’d ...

Scientists are unraveling the mysteries of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, and its dense nitrogen-rich atmosphere. Despite its ...

SwRI studied Saturn’s moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate, the energy lost as it orbits the ringed planet with its massive gravitational force. Understanding tidal dissipation helps ...

Dr. Kelly Miller from the South West Research Institute and Lead author of a paper about Titan’s atmosphere said “While just 40% the diameter of the Earth, Titan has an atmosphere 1.5 times as dense ...

What can a moon’s tidal friction teach us about its formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Science ...

As was the case with “Attack on Titan: The Musical,” “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: The Super Live” will be performed in Japanese with English supertitles. In addition to the North American ...
