Saturn's moon Titan drifting 100 times faster than previous estimations: NASA

Scientists at United States' National Aeronautics and ministration (NASA) and  Italian ncy (ISA) have recently discovered that Saturn's moon Titan is drifting a hundred times faster than previous estimations.

According to research, moon is drifting about 4 inches (11 centimeters) per year. As per NASA, revised drifting rate suggests that  moon started out much closer to Saturn, underlining possibility of entire system expanding faster than previous estimations.

scientists came to a conclusion using data from NASA's Cassini craft. Currently, Titan is 759,000 miles (1.2 million kilometres) from Saturn.

recent findings regarding Titan's modified drifting speed also confirm a new ory that explains and predicts how planets affect ir moons' orbits. For over last 50 years, scientists have used same formula to calculate time period of a moon drifting away from a planet. According to NASA, energy created by  bulging and subsiding transfers from planet to moon nudges it farr out over time. Meanwhile, Earth's moon drifts 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) each year. 

Asteroid passes through Earth

Meanwhile, on Saturday, NASA shared an important piece of information about an asteroid passing near Earth's surface.  large asteroid which passed safely next to  Earth was said to be bigger than Empire State Building in Manhattan.
