Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, may have formed in a collision with another moon, and ...

The collision may also be linked to the formation of the planet's iconic rings.

Titan orbits farther out, moving with steady confidence, whereas Saturn has always handled itself with a sort of serene ...

If Titan formed from a merger, the researchers found, its eccentric orbit could destabilize smaller moons closer to Saturn, ...

Scientists suggest Titan formed from a giant moon collision that also may explain Saturn’s rings and strange moon orbits.

Saturn’s giant moon Titan and the planet’s famous rings may share a dramatic origin story. A new study suggests that Titan could have formed when two older moons smashed together, while the debris ...

Of the solar system’s planets, Saturn piques the human imagination with its signature rings and impressive moon count of 274. But compelling new research reignites theories of an ancient collision ...

In a paper to be published in the Planetary Science Journal, scientists from SETI Institute, Southwest Research Institute, Caltech and the Observatoire de Paris argue that Saturn’s largest moon is not ...

Behind the serene, glowing beauty of Saturn’s rings lies a story of cosmic chaos. Once thought to be as old as the planets themselves, these icy bands may actually be surprisingly young, and their ...

This hypothesis has the advantage of explaining why the rings have a lot of ice and little rock, in contrast to models where a moon strayed inside Saturn’s Roche limit and was pulled apart.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.(AP) — Saturn's giant moon Titan may not have a vast underground ocean after all. Titan instead may hold deep layers of ice and slush more akin to Earth’s polar seas, with pockets ...
