Titan in ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, as captured by the Cassini probe in 2004 NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute A strange substance is hiding on the surfaces of both Pluto and Saturn’s moon Titan, and researchers aren’t sure what it is. Titan’s thick atmosphere means it is extremely difficult to study its surface, so identifying this compound…
