Saturn's moon Titan has an atmosphere thicker than Earth's and seas you could sail on, and it is the one place beyond Earth where a person could stand outside without a pressure suit, though its surface sits at about minus 179 degrees Celsius

Titan stands out as the only location beyond Earth where humans could survive outdoors without a pressure suit, despite extreme cold.

Titan turns so slowly that one rotation takes almost sixteen Earth days, and it is locked in place, showing Saturn the same face forever — so from one side of the moon the ringed planet hangs permanently in the sky, and from the other it is never seen at

New data highlights the alien geography and orbital mechanics of Saturn's moon Titan, from its liquid methane rivers to its locked rotation.

Voyager 1 has no engine running. The 38,000-mile-per-hour speed it has held since its Saturn flyby in 1980 is borrowed momentum from planets it grazed more than four decades ago, and that free ride carries it to one light-day from Earth this November

Saturn's moon Titan runs the same weather cycle as Earth — clouds, rain, rivers and seas — except the liquid doing all the work is methane, and the bedrock underfoot is water frozen at nearly minus 180 degrees, harder than most stone on Earth
