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.
