Just a few months after scientists presented tantalizing evidence of ice volcanoes reshaping the surface of Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, a new study is throwing some cold water on the prospect.
Sotra Facula is the best candidate yet for an ice volcano on Saturn's moon Titan A potential new ice volcano has been found on Saturn's moon Titan. Named Sotra, the volcano is nearly 1 kilometre ...
For the first time, scientists now have solid evidence for an ice volcano on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, according to a new study.
Astronomers have announced the discovery of a potential new ice volcano on Saturn's moon Titan. Named Sotra, the volcano is more than 3,000 feet (1 kilometer) tall and has a 1-mile-deep (1.2 ...
Have the surface and belly of Saturn’s smog-shrouded moon, Titan, recently simmered like a chilly, bubbling cauldron with ice volcanoes, or has this distant moon gone cold? Data collected by the ...

As global temperatures continue to rise, the receding ice could be setting off explosive eruptions in regions already dotted ...
In the paper, published in the April 2011 edition of the journal Icarus, scientists conclude Titan's interior may be cool and dormant and incapable of causing active ice volcanoes.
Saturn's moon Titan has long been suspected of sporting ice volcanoes.Now NASA pictures appear to confirm at least one huge, dormant "cryovolcano"—and perhaps more.. If the evidence bears out ...

SAN FRANCISCO For the first time, scientists now have solid evidence for an ice volcano on Saturn's moon Titan, according to a new study. IE 11 is not supported.
"It would be fantastic to find strong evidence that clearly shows Titan has an internal heat source that causes ice volcanoes and lava flows to form," said study lead author Jeff Moore, of NASA's ...
