When rain falls from Titan’s methane clouds into its hydrocarbon lakes, it can transport organic molecules like acrylonitrile that are attracted to both water and oil. Such amphiphile molecules are likely to collect in a thin film on the surface of Titan’s lakes. As large raindrops pelt the lakes, they could stir up this floating “pond scum” to form spherical droplets of methane coated in a bilayer of amphiphiles – structures called vesicles that resemble cell membranes on Earth.Although such vesicles have yet to be detected on Titan, a 2025 study by Christian Mayer and NASA scientist Conor Nixon lays out the process for their formation and evolution, and it proposes a mechanism for their discovery by a future mission to Titan.

A new NASA mission bearing the name of the telescope’s creator, Dr. George R. Carruthers, will launch into space to build on that legacy. From a vantage point roughly one million miles closer to the Sun than Earth is, the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory will capture the most comprehensive views of the geocorona to date. The observations will reveal new insights into the structure of our atmosphere, how solar eruptions impact Earth, and how a planet’s surface water can escape to space, aiding the search for habitable planets elsewhere in the universe.Learn more about Carruthers Geocorona Observatory science: https://science.nasa.gov/science-research/heliophysics/new-nasa-mission-to-reveal-earths-invisible-haloLearn more about the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory: https://science.nasa.gov/mission/carruthers-geocorona-observatory/ || ", "hits": 305 }, { "id": 14899, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14899/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2025-09-14T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Inside the Visualization: Aerosols", "description": "Complete transcript available. || YTframe_Design_DEMO_v01.jpg (1920x1080) [1.2 MB] || YTframe_Design_DEMO_v01_print.jpg (1024x576) [623.1 KB] || YTframe_Design_DEMO_v01_searchweb.png (320x180) [107.3 KB] || YTframe_Design_DEMO_v01_web.png (320x180) [107.3 KB] || YTframe_Design_DEMO_v01_thm.png (80x40) [7.9 KB] || 11_09_Inside_The_Visualization_Final2.webm (3840x2160) [68.2 MB] || 11_09_Inside_The_Visualization_Final2.mp4 (3840x2160) [1.7 GB] || ", "hits": 58 }, { "id": 14885, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14885/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2025-09-12T06:00:00-04:00", "title": "NASA Interview Opportunity: Groundbreaking New NASA Mission Will Give Us The Most Detailed Look Yet At Our Solar System’s Shield", "description": "Scroll down page for associated cut b-roll and pre-recorded soundbites. || IMAP_banner.jpeg (1600x640) [185.0 KB] || IMAP_banner_print.jpg (1024x409) [110.6 KB] || IMAP_banner_searchweb.png (320x180) [73.1 KB] || IMAP_banner_thm.png (80x40) [6.7 KB] || ", "hits": 150 }, { "id": 14892, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14892/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2025-08-29T16:00:00-04:00", "title": "Solar Wind Animations", "description": "The Sun releases a constant stream of charged particles, called the solar wind.
