The United States Coast Guard is now leading the investigation into the Titan submersible, looking for answers about why it imploded, and what actions should be taken next. A multinational search for the Titan came to a halt when a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) found five pieces of debris sprawled across the seabed, some 500 ...
The four-day-long search for the missing Titan submersible has come to a tragic end. Reports have confirmed the vessel was subject to a “catastrophic implosion” at some point during its descent toward the Titanic shipwreck, which would have killed all five passengers instantly. A debris field comprising “five different major pieces of debris” of various ...
Far below the gaseous atmospheric shroud on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, lies Kraken Mare, a sea of liquid methane. Cornell astronomers have estimated Titan’s largest sea to be at least 1,000 feet deep near its center — enough room for a potential robotic submarine to explore. After sifting through data from one of the final Titan flybys of ...
Catherine Neish is counting the days until her space launch. While the Western planetary geologist isn’t space-suiting up for her own interstellar voyage, she is playing a key role in an international mission — dispatching a robotic drone to Saturn’s moon Titan — set to blast off in 2027. For nearly two decades, the global ...
Researchers recently discovered a 3900-mile-long ice corridor on Saturn’s largest moon Titan. The geological formation length is roughly 40 percent of Titan’s circumference. The structure was identified by scientists using data recorded by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. Titan’s ice corridor Studying Titan’s surface is usually a difficult task since the moon is covered with several layers ...
