Astro Live (December 14, 2025): Dragonfly - Exploring Saturn's Largest Moon

Embark on an extraordinary journey to Titan, Saturn’s largest moon! With thick hazy skies, liquid methane seas, and a frozen surface hiding a possible subsurface ocean, Titan offers tantalizing clues about the chemistry that may have sparked life on our own planet. NASA’s Dragonfly mission will be sent to explore another world, bringing science fiction to life. About the size of a small car, this nuclear-powered octocopter will take advantage of Titan’s dense atmosphere to fly across its varied landscapes — from ancient impact craters to organic-rich dunes — all while carrying a sophisticated suite of scientific instruments. Dragonfly will land, sample, and discover as it searches for the building blocks of life and pieces together Titan’s complex history. Hear from experts at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory, the team leading this ambitious mission, as we explore how Dragonfly will reveal the secrets of this alien moon and expand our search for the origins of life beyond Earth.
