Artist’s concept of Dragonfly ‘copter drone landing and flying over Titan
Titan might be Mars-like, at least in terms of dust devils.
An awful lot is different. Saturn’s moon, Titan, has an “enormous, puffy atmosphere” while Mars is nearly a vacuum. Titan’s dust is organic – particles of frozen methane or tars. Mars is rock powder. But the available data suggest dust devils could form on Titan. (Thanks to Space.com for pointing out work published March 3 in the journal of Geophysical Research.)
Nasa’s Dragonfly mission may settle the question. It’s scheduled to launch in 2026 and land on Titan in 2034. Given the long build-ups to space missions, that’s around the corner.
Until Dragonfly, you’ll have to travel to Titan in science fiction. Try my award-winning story:
Fynn thought he’d escaped his family’s cult until he’s kidnapped to Titan. With no way home, can he keep himself and the Kin alive?
Available in eBook and paperback on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited too.
