Titan may have slushy tunnels that could support water: Study
Saturn's moon Titan may contain slushy water beneath its icy shell rather than a vast liquid ocean, a study suggests. Scientists analysed delays in Titan's shape changes under Saturn's gravity, finding strong internal energy dissipation. Thermodynamic analysis showed extreme pressure alters water and ice behaviour, creating a thick, slushy layer that may still support water beneath the icy crust.

Researchers suggest such blobs may be the festering wounds formed by torrents of water erupting through Europa’s icy shell. "Surface features like these...could point to local brine pools below the surface," lead author Lauren McKeown said.
