The icy shell of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, may possibly contain a six-mile-thick layer of methane ice beneath its surface. The methane layer could make it easier to detect signs of life from ...

A 6-mile-think shell of methane ice on Saturn's moon Titan could assist in the hunt for life signs arising from this moon's vast subsurface ocean. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Pluto, once a distant mystery, is now revealing astonishing secrets,thanks to NASA’s New Horizons mission. This video dives into the incredible discoveries made during the historic flyby, including ...

That extra methane higher up is put there by patterns of atmospheric circulation. The behavior of nitrogen ice is important to Pluto’s atmosphere, with sublimation in the northern hemisphere and ...

NASA scientists have identified an unexpected high-altitude methane ice cloud on Saturn’s moon Titan that is similar to exotic clouds found far above Earth’s poles. This lofty cloud, imaged by ...

Arctic melting foreshadows America's climate future 45:20. As mighty glaciers melt in the Arctic, new research finds million-year-old methane gas trapped beneath the ice is surfacing, with a ...

The ice giants Uranus and Neptune live up to their name. Although humans have only ever sent one spacecraft (Voyager 2) toward these far-flung worlds, scientists have a pretty good idea that these ...

This sample of methane hydrate, which resembles ice, was retrieved by a German research vessel of the coast of Oregon. Credit: Wusel007 ...

Possible Origin Of Methane In Ice Core Records Date: February 22, 2008 Source: American Geophysical Union Summary: Ice core records from Antarctica and Greenland show greenhouse gas signatures ...

Methane hydrate is both frozen and flammable, unlike regular ice. Warming ocean temperatures are slowly melting the fire-ice, releasing significant amounts of methane into the atmosphere ...
