The thickness of the A Ring is estimated to be 10 to 30 m, its surface density from 35 to 40 g/cm 2 and its total mass as 4 to 5 × 10 18 kg [96] (just under the mass of Hyperion). Its optical depth varies from 0.4 to 0.9. [96] Similarly to the B Ring, the A Ring's outer edge is maintained by orbital resonances, albeit in this case a more ...
Titan, previously named Cyclops 2, was a submersible created and operated by the American underwater-tourism company OceanGate. It was the first privately-owned submersible with a claimed maximum depth of 4,000 m (13,000 ft), [ 2 ] and the first completed crewed submersible with a hull constructed of titanium and carbon fiber composite materials.
Titan is the only object in the outer Solar System where a spacecraft has landed and conducted surface operations. The geology of Titan encompasses the geological characteristics of Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. Titan's density of 1.881 g/cm 3 indicates that it is roughly 40–60% rock by mass, with the rest being water ice and other ...
This is a list of named geological features on Saturn's moon Titan. Official names for these features have only been announced since the 2000s, as Titan's surface was virtually unknown before the arrival of the Cassini–Huygens probe. [1] [2] Some features were known by informal nicknames beforehand; these names are noted where appropriate ...

Titan, at 5,149 km diameter, is the second largest moon in the Solar System and Saturn's largest. [68] [44] Out of all the large moons, Titan is the only one with a dense (surface pressure of 1.5 atm), cold atmosphere, primarily made of nitrogen with a small fraction of methane. [69]

At 8:55 a.m., the platform was vented, causing it to sink below the surface of the water. At 9:18 a.m., Titan disengaged from the platform and commenced diving. [81] For the first hour and a half of the descent, Titan communicated with Polar Prince via text about every 15 minutes and received a "ping" every 5–10 seconds. [81]
