Cassini maps weather on Saturn’s massive moon
JOHNS HOPKINS (US)—The rippled sand dunes on Titan tell a story of wind and weather. After four years of data collection by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, scientists have mapped the dune fields on Saturn’s largest moon. The results could prove significant for planning future Titan explorations that might involve balloon-borne experiments.
