Sarah Hörst (born April 26, 1982) is an associate professor of planetary sciences at Johns Hopkins University, who focuses on understanding planetary atmospheric hazes, in particular the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan. Hörst attended high school at Oak Hall School in Gainesville, Florida. Her mother is a neuroscientist and her father was a medical doctor. She received a Bachelors in Planetary Science and Literature from the California Institute of Technology. At Caltech she worked with Michael Brown studying Europa and Titan using the Celestron telescope. Whilst the telescope has been described as "amateur", Hörst managed to image Titan to calculate a light curve and look for clouds. She was on the Caltech track team. After graduating in 2004, Hörst joined the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and worked on the image analysis for the Imaging Science Subsystem of the Cassini–Huygens spacecraft. She also worked at Institut de Planétologie et d'Astrophysique de Grenoble (IPAG). She earned her PhD, Post-Cassini Investigations of Titan Atmospheric Chemistry, in 2011 from the University of Arizona. Here she worked in the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory studying the chemistry of Titan's atmosphere. Her team was the first to show that amino acids and nucleotide bases may be present in Titan's atmosphere. She was awarded the Peter B. Wagner Memorial Award for Women in Atmospheric Sciences.
