The arrows indicate the direction in which sand is inferred to be transported along dunes observed in Titan radar data. Underlying the arrows is a base map from Cassini’s imaging science subsystem.

A new analysis of radar data from the international Cassini spacecraft has revealed regional variations amongst Titan’s sand dunes. The result yields new clues to the giant moon’s climatic and ...

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, is one of the few solar system bodies and the only planetary moon known to have fields of wind-blown dunes on its surface. (The others are Venus, Earth and Mars.) New ...

New close-up photos of Titan, Saturn's biggest moon, show its mysterious and massive dunes in more detail than ever before. NASA's Cassini orbiter obtained these images when it flew by Titan for the ...
