SIDNEY - Saturn's largest moon may have ocean beneath the soil surface covered with ice. according to a recent study.Research conducted by Dr. Rose-Marie Baland and colleagues from the Royal Observatory of Belgium described the conditions on Titan, thought to have an atmosphere similar to Earth in the early days. Similarly, as reported by ABC Science, on Tuesday (26/04/2011).
In the study published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, Baland and his colleagues have concluded after examining the data seven years from the Cassini satellite, which monitors the orbit and rotation of Titan.
They found the level of humidity on Titan 50 percent higher than it should be the core surface of a moon / planet.
This can be explained if the thickness of Titan are more inclined to the surface of the core.
"This is not something impossible, based on our understanding of how planets and the moon formed," said Baland.
Another possibility is said by Baland and colleagues is, the core of Titan is not completely solid. "There could be below the surface of sea ice," he said.
Even so, scientists say that their findings are not the final thing, because they still do another study.

Scientists also believe there are believed to be water on Jupiter's three-month, ie, Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede. A recent report, two other Saturn moon, Enceladus and Tethys are also estimated to contain water.
Researchers even earlier according to NASA, Titan also shows that there is the possibility of water at a depth of 100 kilometers below the surface.
Cassini satellite that launched the U.S. and Europe that record the structure of Titan's surface using radar penetrate thick clouds. Cassini perform 19 times maneuver around the object is between October 2005 and 2007.

From the photos submitted, the scientists succeeded in mapping the 50 objects, such as lakes, valleys, and mountains on Titan's surface. However, recent photographs show that in some locations there is a change shape or move up to as far as 30 kilometers.
Wind strength in a very thick atmosphere of Titan is not too enough to explain this shift. The scientists involved in the Cassini mission believes it can only happen if there is water between the crust and core. However, further research should be conducted to find out the truth
