Scientists rule out a hidden ocean on Titan, but there’s still hope for discovering life under the ice
An image from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows Titan in front of Saturn and its rings. (Credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech / SSI) A fresh analysis of tidal perturbations on Titan challenges a long-held hypothesis: that the cloud-shrouded Saturnian moon harbors an ocean of liquid water beneath its surface ice. But the scientists behind the analysis don’t…
