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 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.
