Prokaryotic life has dominated most of the evolutionary history of our planet, evolving to
occupy virtually all available environmental niches. Extremophiles, especially those thriving …

Titan is the only moon with a substantial atmosphere, the only other thick N2 atmosphere
besides Earth's, the site of extraordinarily complex atmospheric chemistry that far surpasses …

Alluvial rivers are conveyor belts of fluid and sediment that provide a record of upstream
climate and erosion on Earth, Titan, and Mars. However, many of Earth's rivers remain …

Broadband spectroscopy is an invaluable tool for measuring multiple gas-phase species
simultaneously. In this work we review basic techniques, implementations, and current …

Tide-locked planets are planets in which tidal stresses from the host star have spun down
the planet's rotation to the point where its length of sidereal day equals its length of year. In a …

The methane-based hydrologic cycle on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, is an extreme
analogue to Earth's water cycle. Titan is the only planetary body in the Solar System, other …

Saturn's moon Titan was explored by the Cassini spacecraft from 2004 to 2017. While
Cassini revealed a lot about this Earth-like world, its radar observations could only provide …

Cassini observations of Titan's weather patterns over> 13 years, almost half a Saturnian
year, provide insight into seasonal circulation patterns and the methane cycle. The Imaging …

The Cassini-Huygens mission that explored the Saturn system during the period 2004–2017
revolutionized our understanding of Titan, the only known moon with a dense atmosphere …

Abstract Thanks to the Cassini–Huygens mission, Titan, the pale orange dot of Pioneer and
Voyager encounters, has been revealed to be a dynamic, hydrologically shaped, organic …
