New analysis of data from NASA's Cassini mission suggests that Titan, Saturn's largest moon, likely does not have a deep liquid water ocean beneath its surface as previously thought. Instead, it probably contains a thick, slushy layer of ice and water, which could still support some forms of life in isolated pockets of liquid water, potentially improving the prospects for habitability. These findings will influence future missions like NASA's Dragonfly and our understanding of icy worlds.
