A new paper posits that advanced alien civilizations may communicate through subtle flashes, like fireflies do on Earth. The ...

A new study referencing a past NASA Cassini observation found the presence of 'slushy tunnels' in Saturn's largest moon Titan ...

The faraway moon has 'a slushy high-pressure ice layer' similar to the melting Arctic that could hide extraterrestrial life.

Titan, Saturn’s moon, has long been a fascinating enigma for astronomers, particularly with the prevailing belief over the past decade that it hides a vast ocean of salty water beneath its crust.

A new NASA study of data from its old Cassini mission to Saturn suggests that giant moon Titan may not have a global ocean — but that life could still exist in pockets.

An updated analysis of data captured by NASA’s Cassini Mission, led by NASA scientists and researchers from the University of Washington, has decreased the chances of a subsurface ocean on Saturn’s ...

New research suggests Titan instead may hold deep layers of ice and slush more akin to Earth's polar seas instead of a buried ocean as long suspected.

Decades ago, a spacecraft suggested Saturn's largest moon, Titan, had an ocean. New observations suggest that the liquid may look more like slush. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

The best reason to send humans to Mars isn’t for guts or glory—or the construction of colonies to safeguard against existential Earth-bound risks. Instead it’s to answer a single, simple question: Is ...
