This adds to data taken back in 2004, when NASA's Cassini spacecraft and the European Space Agency's Huygens lander studied the moon.

For the study, the researchers analyzed data obtained from the now-retired Cassini-Huygens mission, which explored Saturn and its many moons, including Titan, for over 13 years from 2004 to 2017. The ...

By analysing data from the Cassini-Huygens mission, a joint venture between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency, the team have shown that the thick, hazy atmosphere of ...

The puzzling behavior of Titan's atmosphere has been revealed by researchers at the University of Bristol for the first time. By analyzing data from the Cassini-Huygens mission, a joint venture ...

If NASA were to launch a mission to Mars by next year, SpaceX’s megarocket Starship would be the most fit for the job. SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk has a fixation on Mars, and he often rants ...

But there's far more to discover about Titan than Cassini and Huygens could gather, and NASA is eager to return. After collecting a series of colorful mission proposals, the agency decided in 2019 ...

Cassini stayed in orbit around Saturn until Sept. 15, 2017, making a total of 294 orbits before falling into the planet's atmosphere and breaking apart. (Scientists planned this crash on purpose.) ...

It’s been 20 years since the Cassini-Huygens mission—a joint effort by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency—visited Titan.

“Data from the Cassini-Huygens mission shows that there is argon-40 in the atmosphere,” explains Miller. “Argon-40 is a decay product from potassium-40, and potassium is a rock-forming element.

For example, the Cassini-Huygens mission was first proposed in 1982 and wasn't launched until 1997, during which time it endured several years of studies and swapped between a solo NASA mission or ...
