Geotimes February 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Titanic Methane Rivers Without evidence for methane-producing life, the leading hypothesis remains that Titan's visible volcanoes tap into an underground methane reservoir and bring it to the surface.
Geotimes July 2004 Jay Chapman	Sliding into Saturn Late Wednesday night, the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft silently slipped through the outermost rings of Saturn and entered into orbit. By early Thursday morning, Cassini began transmitting strikingly elegant close-up images of Saturn's rings.
Geotimes December 2004	A Saturnian One-Two Punch: Flybys of Titan and Dione On Monday, the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft flew by Titan only 1,200 kilometers above the moon's surface. It was the second such flyby of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, since the spacecraft began orbiting Saturn on June 30.
Geotimes July 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Dunes on Titan Sand dunes discovered on Saturn's moon Titan are structurally similar to dunes in Earth's Namib desert in southern Africa. The dunes' various orientations are helping astronomers map Titan's wind patterns.
Geotimes January 2005 Sara Pratt	Frozen Volcanism on Titan In late October, the synthetic aperture radar on the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft penetrated Titan's atmosphere of organic smog and captured images of the surface, revealing features that resemble lava domes and lava flows.
Geotimes March 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Titanic Methane Mystery Solved? The case of the elusive source of methane on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, could soon come to a close, some astronomers say. A new model suggests that instead of storage within surface lakes or an ocean, methane lies inside an icy crust and periodic changes release it into the atmosphere.
Geotimes October 2003	Hydrocarbon oceans on Titan Ground-based radar telescopes finally have penetrated the hazy atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon to yield the first reliable evidence that it might have hydrocarbon oceans.
Geotimes May 2005 Laura Stafford	Saturn's New Moon In a small space between Saturn's rings, scientists discovered a previously unknown moon, currently known as S/2005 S1, from the images sent back to Earth from Cassini less than a year after the spacecraft began orbiting Saturn.
Geotimes August 2005 Megan Sever	Icy Methane Volcano on Titan New images taken by the Cassini spacecraft during a flyby of Saturn's largest satellite are now revealing what researchers think is evidence of a large volcano on Titan that could be erupting methane.

Geotimes July 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Titanic Methane Mystery Solved? Planetary scientists discovered dozens of lakes, some connected by river-like channels, at Titan's north pole. Researchers suggest that the lakes could hold enough liquid methane to resupply the Saturnian moon's atmosphere with methane gas.
Chemistry World May 11, 2007 Michael Gross	The Atmosphere on Titan's Moon Using spectroscopic measurements made during flybys of the Cassini craft, researchers in the U.S. can now present first insights into the reactions that lead from methane and nitrogen to the formation of tholins, which are believed to make up the orange fog that veils Titan's surface.
