Curious Cosmos

For the awesome, the vast, the sparse and the downwright odd.

Science is a spectacle not to be missed as we endeavour further and further into the void of the universe as we know it. Some of it is right under our very noses.

From supergalactic star clusters down to tiny diatoms. Enjoy.

-News- well here it goes again, my last site deleted itself, im back on the road.

-Titan-

Saturn’s moon Titan has a very thick atmosphere coupled with a very low gravity. In fact it is said that human beings could fly simply by flapping their arms about.

Titan is 5,150 km across, compared to 4,879 km for the planet Mercury and 3,474 km for Earth’s moon. Due to the lower gravity conditions it means that its atmosphere is far more extended than Earth’s; even at a distance of 975 km, the Cassini spacecraft had to make adjustments to maintain a stable orbit against atmospheric drag
