Scientists analyzing data from the Cassini-Huygens mission discovered a mysterious gyroscopic motion in Titan's atmosphere that is independent of its surface rotation and varies with seasons, posing new questions about atmospheric dynamics and aiding future missions like NASA's Dragonfly.
A new study using bistatic radar data from the Cassini-Huygens mission has provided detailed insights into the composition and surface roughness of Titan's hydrocarbon seas. The research, led by Cornell University, found variations in the seas' dielectric constants and surface calmness, with indications of pure methane rivers mixing with ethane-rich seas. This analysis paves the way for further discoveries from Cassini's extensive data on Titan.
