My students created zines to share their learning about NASA’s Dragonfly Mission to explore Titan. #ISTEcert #DragonflyMission

Very happy to attend the #ISTEcert meetup for this month! Valuable information was shared, with takeaways from the NASA Challenge! #DragonflyMission #ParkerSolarProbe

Did you know it’s 4x easier to fly on Titan(Saturn’s largest moon) than on Earth? So cool to learn about NASA’s exploration of Titan with fellow @isteofficial.bsky.social Certified Educators. #ISTECert #DragonflyMission #ParkerSolarProbe

☀️ Did you know? The Parker Solar Probe is getting up close and personal with the Sun! ☀️

Fact 1: This incredible mission is on a quest to unravel the mysteries of the Sun's corona and solar wind. 🤯

Dragonfly Mission Passes Critical Design Review The Johns Hopkins APL-led team working on the first rotorcraft designed for scientific exploration on another ocean world has passed its Critical Design Review, a major milestone confirming Dragonfly’...

NASA’s #DragonflyMission, set to explore Saturn’s moon Titan, has passed its Critical Design Review. Led by APL and supported by U.S. industry, government and academic partners, Dragonfly is ready for the next phase and will launch in 2028. jhuapl.link/6a3

Illustration of the Dragonfly robotic rotorcraft flying a few meters above the surface of Titan. The ground is strewn with pebbles, with hills in the distance. Dragonfly has eight spinning propellers, several cameras, and landing skids similar to a helicopter.

Titan may harbor life, but it will be difficult to find A new study explores the possibility of microbial life in Titan's deep ocean—and why it may be harder to find than we think.

Cassini photo of Titan and another much smaller moon floating against Saturn, Saturn's rings seen edge-on, and striped shadows from the rings on the planet's cloud tops. Titan is orange with fuzzy edges due to its atmosphere.

When Christiaan Huygens discovered Saturn’s largest moon Titan #OTD in 1655, it was just a dot in a telescope. Now we know it as a bizarre and beautiful world.

In 2028, NASA is sending the #DragonflyMission, a car-sized octocopter, to fly Titan's skies. dragonfly.jhuapl.edu

On this day in 1655, Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, was discovered. 🪐

In 2028, NASA’s #DragonflyMission - led by Johns Hopkins APL with nationwide partner organizations - will launch to explore Titan’s environment and search for signs of life. Learn more: dragonfly.jhuapl.edu

Tethys, a moon of Saturn, appears to hover near the A and F rings in this stunning view. The moon, composed mostly of ice, peeks through the Keeler gap, cleared by the tiny moon Daphnis. Captured by the Cassini spacecraft in July 2014, this image highlights the intricate dance of Saturn’s rings and moons. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute)

The Huygens probe successfully landed on Saturn's largest moon Titan at about 11:30 UTC on January 14, 2005. The descent lasted two hours and 27 minutes. The probe survived another 72 minutes on the surface of Titan. This was the first - and, so far, the only - landing in the outer solar system. Huygens holds the record as the most distant landing from Earth. (Image credit: ESA - C. Carreau)

Huygens returned this image from the surface of Titan. This colored view was processed to add reflection spectra data, and gives a better indication of the actual color of the surface. (ESA/NASA/JPL/University of Arizona))

20 years ago, @esa.int's Huygens probe landed on Titan, revealing some of the mysteries of Saturn's largest moon. 🪐 NASA's #DragonflyMission is set to explore Titan’s surface, continuing the legacy of exploration and discovery. 🛰️ dragonfly.jhuapl.edu
