Media Invitation - World record! -The Titan Arum expected to flower in Bonn on Friday or Saturday
The bloom with the world's largest inflorescence is about to flower at the Botanical Gardens of the University of Bonn. The Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum) has already reached a height of 268 centimeters - 1 centimeter more than the specimen grown in 1932 in the Dutch town of Wageningen that... view more (2003-05-21)

Rivers on Titan, one of Saturn's moons, resemble those on Earth
Recent evidence from the Huygens Probe of the Cassini Mission suggests that Titan, the largest moon orbiting Saturn, is a world where rivers of liquid methane sculpt channels in continents of ice.   view more (2005-12-06)

World record? - The Titan Arum is flowering next week
The world's largest bloom can very soon be admired at the Botanical Gardens of the University of Bonn. In addition to the enormous size of this inflorescence, which can reach a height of over two-and-a-half metres, the Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum) is also characterised by a powerful and foul... view more (2003-05-16)

ESA to search for life, but not as we know it
This week, astrobiologists are discussing what ESA`s Huygens spaceprobe might discover when it parachutes to the surface of Saturn`s mysterious moon, Titan, in 2005. Titan possesses a rich atmosphere of organic molecules, which Huygens will analyse. Recently some scientists have begun to think... view more (2002-09-19)

Cassini's new view of land of lakes and seas
The best views of the hydrocarbon lakes and seas on Saturn's moon Titan taken by the Cassini spacecraft are being released today.   view more (2007-10-12)

Getting closer to the Lord of the Rings
This time next year, ESA's Huygens spaceprobe will be descending through the atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon, becoming the first spacecraft to land on a body in the outer Solar System. Earlier this month, the giant ringed planet Saturn was closer to Earth than it will be for the next thirty... view more (2004-01-16)

McMaster University unveils world's most advanced microscope
The most advanced and powerful electron microscope on the planet-capable of unprecedented resolution-has been installed in the new Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy at McMaster University.   view more (2008-10-21)

Titan's pebbles 'seen' by Huygens radio
An unexpected radio reflection from the surface of Titan has allowed ESA scientists to deduce the average size of stones and pebbles close to the Huygens' landing site. The technique could be used on other lander missions to analyse planetary surfaces for free.   view more (2006-07-26)

UK scientists get a "whiff" of Titan's surface
Further insights into Titan were unveiled today (21st January 2005) as scientists involved in the joint NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens mission presented further results and images a week to the day after the successful descent and arrival of the Huygens probe on the surface of Saturn's largest moon.   view more (2005-01-21)

ESA's 'shipping forecast' - from Titan!
ESA could be releasing its own marine weather report next January - but not for any Earthly ocean. Thanks to the NASA/ESA Cassini/Huygens mission, the first data about an extraterrestrial ocean may finally be received, ending 25 years of scientific speculation. There is a growing body of evidence... view more (2004-04-02)

Titan's seas are sand
Until a couple of years ago, scientists thought the dark equatorial regions of Titan might be liquid oceans.   view more (2006-05-05)

Challenges of landing on alien worlds
Three ESA missions are due to send down robotic `spaceprobes` when they arrive at their alien destinations. Since these craft will be going where no one has gone before, how can scientists be sure what it will be like down there? How do you ensure that your spaceprobe is prepared for anything?... view more (2002-10-10)

How the world watched Huygens
As Huygens parachuted to the surface of Titan in January 2005, a battery of telescopes around the world were watching or listening.   view more (2006-07-28)

NASA's Cassini Reveals Lake-Like Feature on Titan
Scientists are fascinated by a dark, lake-like feature recently observed on Saturn's moon Titan. NASA's Cassini spacecraft captured a series of images showing a marking, darker than anything else around it. It is remarkably lake-like, with smooth, shore-like boundaries unlike any seen previously on... view more (2005-06-29)

University of the Basque Country researchers believe methane storms on Titan
The detailed exploration of Titan with space missions began a couple of years ago and the presence of bright polar clouds and dry riverbeds on this satellite of Saturn has intrigued astronomers ever since.   view more (2006-07-31)

Predicting the weather on Titan?
Using recent Cassini, Huygens and Earth-based observations, scientists have been able to create a computer model which explains the formation of several types of ethane and methane clouds on Titan.   view more (2006-01-24)

Fasten your seat belts -- turbulent lessons from Titan
Have you spilled your drink on an airliner? Researchers on both sides of the Atlantic are finding new ways to understand turbulence, both in the Earth's atmosphere and that of Saturn's moon Titan.   view more (2007-08-29)

Titan's icy climate mimics Earth's tropics
If space travelers ever visit Saturn's largest moon, they will find a tropical world where temperatures plunge to minus 274 degrees Fahrenheit, methane rains from the sky and dunes of ice or tar cover the planet's most arid regions. These conditions reflect a cold mirror image of Earth's tropical... view more (2007-10-03)

Royal Society Summer Exhibition - Take Part In The Cassini-Huygens Mission
UK space scientists are involved in a plethora of spacecraft that are currently exploring the planets, moons and comets in our Solar System. The UK Goes to the Planets exhibit at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition provides an opportunity to find out about these missions direct from the... view more (2004-06-30)

Building our new view of Titan
Two and a half years after the historic landing of ESA's Huygens probe on Titan, a new set of results on Saturn's largest moon is ready to be presented. Titan, as seen through the eyes of the European Space Agency's Huygens probe, still holds exciting surprises, scientists say.   view more (2007-06-04)
