What scientists found inside Titan was not what anyone expected

For years, scientists thought Saturns moon Titan hid a global ocean beneath its frozen surface. A new look at Cassini data now suggests something very different: a thick, slushy interior with pockets of liquid water rather than an open sea. A subtle delay in how Titan deforms under Saturns gravity revealed this stickier structure. These slushy environments could still be promising places to search for life.
