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. |
