Saturn's big moon Titan might not have a huge ocean. It may hold ice and slush with small water pockets instead.

Scientists have not found any life signs on Titan yet. But this slushy new view gives hope for life on other worlds.

Saturn's strong pull makes Titan's surface change shape. A time gap in this effect showed slushy ice inside, not ocean.

Computer models suggest deep layers of ice, slush, and water. These layers could go very deep and some water might be warm.

Not all experts agree with these new findings about Titan. A new NASA mission will visit Titan and explore its inside soon.
