( Image: Saturn's radiation belts, Credit: NASA / JPL / APL) Despite the fact that planetary magnetic fields provide shelter against deadly solar radiation , they are also accompanied with radiation belts , an item some would consider a mixed blessing. While Earth, Callisto and Titan comprise the three major radiation safe worlds (at least when it comes to raising kids), two other icy worlds-- Dione...

NASA's Cassini spacecraft buzzed Titan last month, coming close enough to taste the Saturnian moon's atmosphere. The data acquired has implications for our understanding of life throughout the galaxy, as well as Earth's own past. The second largest moon in the solar system, Titan has long been of interest for hopeful exobioligists. As the only other body we know of with surface bodies of liquid, complete...

Even before the Cassini spacecraft entered the Saturn system, scientists were predicting that Saturn's moon Titan would be quite Earth-like. And every image that's returned of Titan's clouds, lakes, rivers, and other landforms is proving them right. In 2005 Cassini’s imaging radar discovered a massive area of sand dunes around Titan's equatorial region. [...]

( Hat Tip: The Space Fellowship , Image Credit: NASA) Located approximately 1.5 billion kilometers away from the Sun, Saturn's Titan may prove to be one of the more interesting worlds to live upon in our solar system. While it would not be surprising to see cites constructed upon the moon due to its methane lakes , future colonists may find its sand to be "slightly irritating." ( NASA ) On Earth, sand...
