Titan, a moon of Saturn, is the only object in the solar system besides Earth with liquid on its surface, making it relevant for the search for life beyond Earth. But instead of water, methane and ethane make up Titan’s rivers and seas. Join scientists as they explore Titan with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and develop the forthcoming Dragonfly mission, which will send an octocopter to this fascinating moon.

![Webb’s Biggest Discoveries: Four Years of Science
Previously unseen details all throughout the universe, including right here in our own solar system have been revealed using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, and the results so far, are fascinating.
Webb has given scientists, and the world, a powerful new set of tools to help better explain our place in the universe. And with its unprecedented power to detect and analyze otherwise invisible infrared light, objects that were once impossible to observe are now coming into clear view.
