NASA’s Cassini mission in 2008 suggested that Saturn’s moon Titan may have had a global ocean beneath its surface. However, recent data analysis indicates a more complex structure: Titan likely consists of layers of ice, slush, and small pockets of warm water near its rocky core.
This study, led by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California and published in the journal Nature, challenges previous assumptions about Titan’s internal composition. The findings could have significant implications for scientists studying Titan and other icy moons in the solar system.
