 Courtesy of NASA/JPL In a paper appearing in the Mar. 21 issue of Science, Cassini scientists speculate there may be a layer of liquid water and ammonia some 100 kilometres (62 miles) below the surface of Titan.
Titan is Saturn’s largest moon. It lies 1 billion kilometres (620 million miles) from the Sun, nine times the distance that the Earth does. Its surface comprises water ice and liquid hydrocarbons. The surface pressure is similar to the Earth’s, but Titan has a surface temperature of -180° C. Write Comment (0 comments) |
