Cassini Spacecraft Finds Ocean May Exist Beneath Titan's Crust

PASADENA, Calif., March 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA's Cassini spacecraft has discovered evidence that points to the existence of an underground ocean of water and ammonia on Saturn's moon Titan. The findings made using radar measurements of Titan's rotation will appear in the March 21 issue of the journal Science. "With its organic dunes, lakes, channels and mountains, Titan has one of the most varied, active and Earth-like surfaces in the solar system," said Ralph Lorenz, lead author of the paper and Cassini radar scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md. "Now we see changes in the way Titan rotates, giving us a window into Titan's interior beneath the surface." Members of the mission's science team used Cassini's Synthetic Aperture Radar to collect imaging data during 19 separate passes over Titan b

Studying Big Science

SOCIOLOGY Studying Big Science Lillian Hoddeson STRUCTURES OF SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION. Wesley Shrum, Joel Genuth and Ivan Chompalov. xiv + 280 pp. The MIT Press, 2007. $35. The continuing growth of "big science" since the 1970s has presented historians and archivists of science with new challenges. The ever-increasing scale of the work has demanded greater numbers of people, larger budgets, longer periods of time, and equipment that grows ever more gargantuan and sophisticated. In writing about science and technology, historians have thus had to expand their scope to include not just scientists working alone or in small teams but the vastly more complex activities of collectives. In this endeavor they have received enormous assistance from anthropologists and sociologists of science-people such as Karin Knorr Cetina, Bruno Latour, Andrew

Cassini Finds Evidence For Ocean Inside Titan

Riding with Robots writes "NASA reports that by using data from the Cassini probe's radar, scientists established the locations of 50 unique landmarks on the surface of Saturn's planet-size moon Titan. They then searched for these same lakes, canyons and mountains in the data after subsequent Titan flybys. They found that the features had shifted from their expected positions by up to 30 kilometers. NASA says a systematic displacement of surface features would be difficult to explain unless the moon's icy crust was decoupled from its core by an internal ocean, making it easier for the crust to move. If confirmed, this discovery would add to the growing list of moons in the solar system that are icy on the outside and warm and liquid inside, providing potential habitats.

Science Comes to New York City

Saturn Moon Titan May Have Life-Sustaining Underground Oceans

The drifting dunes, channels and lakes on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan suggest the satellite may have liquid water oceans lurking more than 60 miles below ground. "If the interpretation that Titan has an internal ocean is supported by other measurements, then Titan is a place where organics are produced and where liquid water is present," wrote researchers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the University of Nantes.
