Researchers have found that the thick and hazy atmosphere enveloping Saturn's largest moon, Titan, behaves in a very peculiar way. As detailed in a new paper published in The Planetary Science Journal, a team of scientists analyzed 13 years' worth of thermal infrared observations recorded by NASA and the European Space Agency's Cassini-Huygens mission. Their finding: that Titan's atmosphere wobbles like a gyroscope as it shifts with the seasons of its nearly 30 Earth-year cycle, instead of spi

Caesar's Last Breath 23 May, 2025 How many molecules from Caesar’s last breath do we inhale with each breath we take? Shockingly, the answer is about one molecule—we actually do share breaths with Caesar! And, by extension, every breath we take is composed of the previous breaths of everyone who ever lived—Socrates, Lincoln, Einstein, etc. Isn’t that crazy? This is a classic exercise in Fermi estimation—it even has a book named after it. It’s a beautiful introduction to the power of napkin ma

Using data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope and the Keck II telescope, astronomers found evidence of cloud convection in the northern hemisphere of Titan. Most of Titan’s lakes and seas are located in that hemisphere, and are likely replenished by an occasional rain of methane and ethane. Webb also has detected a key carbon-containing molecule that gives insight into the chemical processes in Titan’s complex atmosphere. Titan is an intriguing world cloaked in a yellowish, smoggy

They suggested that ice-encrusted mushballs rain down during intense thunderstorms on the gas giant. At the time, however, the notion of ammonia-packed slushee hailstones seemed too weird to be true, so they spent the next several years trying to prove it wrong. But Jupiter’s mushballs could not be denied. New research confirmed the bizarre phenomenon not only exists—it could be

Today, oxygen makes up about 21% of our atmosphere, but it wasn’t always so plentiful. Around 2.7 billion years ago, cyanobacteria—aquatic bacteria that generate energy through photosynthesis—evolved and began releasing oxygen into the oceans. This oxygen gradually accumulated in the atmosphere in a process called the Great Oxidation Event (GOE), which took place between 2.4 and 2.1 billion years ago. New research, however, suggests that aerobic (oxygen-dependent) bacteria may have emerged long
