A new model proposes that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, formed through the collision and merger of two earlier Saturnian moons hundreds of millions of years ago. SETI Institute communications specialist Beth Johnson spoke with SETI Institute planetary dynamicist Dr. Matija Ćuk about this new model that connects ongoing observations.

#PPOD: These X-ray computed tomography (XCT) scans, released on March 17, 2026, give us a glimpse inside asteroid Bennu. They show the most common types of crack networks observed in Bennu samples. One has an extensive, interconnected framework of curved cracks, whereas the other has sparse, straight, flat fractures. Credit: NASA/Scott Eckley

Radio astronomy has revealed some of the universe’s most energetic phenomena, from supermassive black holes to explosive stellar activity. Yet many astrophysical signals remain difficult to detect because they are faint, short-lived, or buried within vast datasets.
In a recent SETI Live conversation, Dr. Moiya McTier spoke with Paris Observatory radio astronomer Dr. Cyril Tasse about a new computational approach to uncovering these hidden signals.
