Six images of Titan arranged in two rows on a black background. Each has an orange, white, and purple surface.
More than a decade ago, Cassini data suggested Saturn’s moon Titan hid a vast underground ocean. New research by UW and NASA scientists shows its interior is more likely made of deep layers of ice and slush instead.
