Description

New research challenges the notion of Titan, Saturns moon, having a vast underground ocean. Instead, it suggests deep layers of ice and slush, potentially with pockets of melted water. This could be more promising for life, as observed by NASAs Cassini spacecraft and analyzed by researchers at NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The findings, based on measuring Titans surface rise, point to an interior of slushy ice with liquid water pockets. NASAs upcoming Dragonfly mission aims to provide clearer information about Titans interior and potential for life.
