What can a moon’s tidal friction teach us about its formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Science ...

Scientists are studying Saturn's moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate, the energy lost as it orbits the ringed planet with its massive gravitational force. Understanding tidal dissipation ...

Scientists found Titan’s orbit is shifting faster than expected due to tidal dissipation. A recent cosmic event likely ...

Scientists are unraveling the mysteries of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, and its dense nitrogen-rich atmosphere. Despite its ...

SwRI studied Saturn’s moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate, the energy lost as it orbits the ringed planet with its massive gravitational force. Understanding tidal dissipation helps ...
