besides Earth's, the site of extraordinarily complex atmospheric chemistry that far surpasses …

Rocky planets are common around other stars, but their atmospheric properties remain
largely unconstrained. Thanks to a wealth of recent planet discoveries and upcoming …

Hyperspectral data (Table 1) is acquired as continuous narrowbands (eg, each band with 1
to 10 nanometer or nm bandwidths) over a range of electromagnetic spectrum (eg, 400 …

The surface of Saturn's haze-shrouded moon Titan has long been proposed to have oceans
or lakes, on the basis of the stability of liquid methane at the surface,. Initial visible and radar …

While grounded in the hard sciences of physics, chemistry, geology, and astronomy, as well
as well-accepted principles in the life sciences, astrobiology remains the most speculative of …

Terrestrial analogue studies underpin almost all planetary missions and their use is
essential in the exploration of our Solar system and in assessing the habitability of other …

Titan was once thought to have global oceans of light hydrocarbons on its surface,,,,, but
after 40 close flybys of Titan by the Cassini spacecraft, it has become clear that no such …

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images of Titan's north polar region reveal quasi‐circular to
complex features which are interpreted to be liquid hydrocarbon lakes. We investigate …

Cassini RADAR observations now permit an initial assessment of the inventory of two
classes, presumed to be organic, of Titan surface materials: polar lake liquids and equatorial …

Cassini's Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) has been observing Titan since April 2004,
compiling a nearly global surface map and monitoring the surface and atmosphere for …
