The Tides of Titan
Abstract
Getting to Know Titan: Gravity-field measurements provide information on the interior structure of planets and their moons. Iess et al. (p. 457 ; published online 28 June) analyzed gravity data from six flybys of Saturn's moon, Titan, by the Cassini spacecraft between 2006 and 2011. The data suggest that Titan's interior is flexible on tidal time scales with the magnitude of the observed tidal deformations being consistent with the existence of a global subsurface water ocean.

“…and methane, invites speculation on the possibility of life existing without liquid water at all (McKay and Smith, 2005) and could even harbor a ‘‘double biosphere’’ with an ethane/ methane-solvent biosphere at the surface and water-solvent biosphere in the deep subsurface (Iess et al., 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
