Cassini Helps With Dune WhodunitPasadena CA (SPX) Jul 30, 2010 The answer to the mystery of dune patterns on Saturn's moon Titan did turn out to be blowing in the wind. It just wasn't from the direction many scientists expected. Basic principles describing the rotation of planetary atmospheres and data from the European Space Agency's Huygens probe led to circulation models that showed surface winds streaming generally east-to-west around Titan's equatorial belt.

Experiments and modelling have indicated that the required conditions exist, especially during the Martian northern summer at higher latitud ... more
