Geotimes August 2005 Megan Sever	Icy Methane Volcano on Titan New images taken by the Cassini spacecraft during a flyby of Saturn's largest satellite are now revealing what researchers think is evidence of a large volcano on Titan that could be erupting methane.
Geotimes December 2004	A Saturnian One-Two Punch: Flybys of Titan and Dione On Monday, the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft flew by Titan only 1,200 kilometers above the moon's surface. It was the second such flyby of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, since the spacecraft began orbiting Saturn on June 30.
Geotimes July 2004 Jay Chapman	Sliding into Saturn Late Wednesday night, the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft silently slipped through the outermost rings of Saturn and entered into orbit. By early Thursday morning, Cassini began transmitting strikingly elegant close-up images of Saturn's rings.
Popular Mechanics September 2006	Scientists Are Finding Life In Earth's Coldest, Hottest, Weirdest Places By creating an alternative life chemistry in the lab, astrobiologist Steven Benner hopes to uncover a formula for alien microbes. How five big questions about life on our planet are shaping the search for it on other worlds.
Geotimes July 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Dunes on Titan Sand dunes discovered on Saturn's moon Titan are structurally similar to dunes in Earth's Namib desert in southern Africa. The dunes' various orientations are helping astronomers map Titan's wind patterns.

Geotimes March 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Titanic Methane Mystery Solved? The case of the elusive source of methane on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, could soon come to a close, some astronomers say. A new model suggests that instead of storage within surface lakes or an ocean, methane lies inside an icy crust and periodic changes release it into the atmosphere.
Geotimes February 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Titanic Methane Rivers Without evidence for methane-producing life, the leading hypothesis remains that Titan's visible volcanoes tap into an underground methane reservoir and bring it to the surface.
