Rare Titan Shadow Transits Will Sweep Across Saturn in Summer 2025
In a rare celestial alignment, Saturn’s largest moon Titan will cast its shadow across the planet in a series of stunning transits during the summer and early fall of 2025. These events, visible through telescopes, appear as dark “holes” drifting across Saturn’s face as Titan eclipses the planet. The phenomenon occurs only near Saturn’s e...

Scientists Observe Rare Plastic Ice, A Hybrid Form of Ice and Water, Under Extreme Pressure and Heat
Researchers have observed plastic ice, a phase where water molecules rotate while staying in a solid structure. The discovery, made under extreme pressure and heat, could provide new insights into the composition of icy exoplanets and moons. The findings suggest plastic ice VII may have existed in Europa and Titan's interiors and could influence nu...

What’s It Like to Be on Venus or Pluto? We Studied Their Sand Dunes and Found Some Clues
A new study has explained how sand dunes can provide insight into weather and conditions one might experience while standing on a far-off planetary body. For dunes to exist, planets should pass a pair of “Goldilocks” criteria. The presence of such dunes on Venus, Earth, Mars, Titan, Triton (Neptune’s largest moon) and Pluto have given new hop...
