About 65 percent of Saturn's moon Titan consists of uniform flat plains likely coated in up to a meter of fluffy organic material from its atmosphere. Researchers analyzing radar data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft propose a two-layer surface model. This finding could inform future missions to the hazy moon.

New research indicates that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, may have originated from the collision of two earlier moons hundreds of millions of years ago. This event could have reshaped the planet's moon system and contributed to the formation of its rings. Clues include Titan's orbit, surface features, and the behavior of the moon Hyperion.
