"Energy from the Sun should have converted all traces of methane in Titan's atmosphere into hydrocarbons within 50 million years; a relatively short time compared to the age of the Solar System. This suggests that methane must be somehow replenished by a reservoir on or within Titan itself."
Hmm on Earth anaerobic life can produce methane. - Goodanswer, on 10/22/2008, -5/+39This is huge.What it means for us I dont know but like the rest of the world im going to be impressed with it and say i know what it means.

- Chairboy, on 10/23/2008, -1/+15ALL THESE MOONS ARE YOURS
EXCEPT TITAN
ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE - psud0, on 10/22/2008, -0/+12Ok, now we know where to find natural born electricity. Now, we have to beam it over to the Earth and our energy crisis is over :)
- UselessTrivia, on 10/23/2008, -0/+12I agree, but sadly Titan's atmosphere is completely opaque. So much so that we can't actually see the surface, so it would stand to reason you wouldn't be able to see anything standing on the surface looking up.
Imagine a race of people who lived on Titan, discovered spaceflight, and during their first trip out of the atmosphere got a look at Saturn. That would be pretty incredible to discover. - L0NER, on 10/23/2008, -1/+12Bush's last act in office: invading Titan
- sockpuppets, on 10/23/2008, -1/+11It means Titan has a copper top, possibly with an annoying bunny doing laps around its hemisphere.
- InsaneMachine, on 10/23/2008, -0/+10You can recharge it on earth, point at the nearest lighting bolt, please hold onto phone while doing this otherwise it won't work properly.
- EIEAviv2008, on 10/22/2008, -0/+10First I spent 3 days watching Star Wars on Spike and now this! My week just keeps getting better....
- roadtripper, on 10/23/2008, -0/+9Damn kids probably left the lights on.
- andypop481, on 10/23/2008, -0/+9Can we just find life already!
- RealmDown, on 10/22/2008, -2/+9
"Roger, commencing primary ignition." - sockpuppets, on 10/23/2008, -3/+10God's wallpaper.
- ThatGeek, on 10/23/2008, -0/+7lets just get a really big tesla coil
- inactive, on 10/23/2008, -1/+7I'm all for giving it a shot on your brain. I have my reservations, but even if I can't resurrect it, it'll still be fun as hell.
Seriously, how the ***** do people like you not forget how to breathe? - BigManOnCampus, on 10/23/2008, -0/+5So, I'll evolve to have ultraviolet or infrared-sensitive eyes.
- positron, on 10/23/2008, -0/+5Dee doo da deeeeee
Dee da doo da deeeeee
Ba daaaaaaaaaaaoo! - Amadeus2490, on 10/23/2008, -0/+4More importantly, how much methane gas is IN Uranus?
- inactive, on 10/23/2008, -0/+4It's a space station.
- Farik, on 10/23/2008, -0/+4Life, as we know it, seems to require electricity.

NO ONE HAS GONE BEFORE - calebeaton, on 10/23/2008, -0/+3Yep. Another day, another space discovery requiring the creation of new theories by gravity-oriented guys while those with an electrical orientation fully expected it.
Dozens of Titan electrical expectations/predictions...

- DontThinkSo, on 10/23/2008, -0/+3Then they decided that "it all has to go," and started the great Krikkit wars.
- MasterGrief, on 10/23/2008, -0/+3While it's a nice thought, I expect a race capable of space flight would have seen Saturn with a probe or detected it in other ways long before they got themselves off the moon.
- GlassAgate, on 10/23/2008, -0/+3What concentrations of methane gas are on Uranus?
- LeviTheSmith, on 10/23/2008, -1/+4Electric Universe theorists have been saying things like this for ages.
http://www.holoscience.com/ - KingGorilla, on 10/23/2008, -0/+2***** it! We'll make it live!
- Auxon, on 10/23/2008, -0/+2@ BigManOnCampus: None of the scientists you mentioned were challenging "the imaginary notions of God", so that's a foolish thing to say. Newton in particular was very much interested in God and wrote as much or more about God than science. Galileo had a falling out with the Catholic Pope, because he knew him personally and thought that he could boldly declare that the church was incorrect about certain things it deemed true, and do it in what is widely acknowledged as being an offensive and disrespectful manner. He wasn't running around saying, "See! God doesn't EXIST": He was saying, "See! The heavenly bodies move like this, and here's the proof and if you don't believe me you are all idiots - including you Pope." Copernicus was a Catholic cleric. Clearly he was concerned about trying to turn the tables on the widely accepted geocentric beliefs at the time, however, there is nothing to indicate he was against the Catholic Church, let alone the idea of a God. Kepler started out as a theology student, and studied philosophy.
Basically you are way off. - Garofoli, on 10/23/2008, -1/+3I nearly shat myself. That is really cool.
- Denominator88, on 10/23/2008, -0/+2That's no moon... it's a space station.
- xhazerdusx, on 10/23/2008, -0/+2nice.
- inactive, on 10/23/2008, -0/+2Who burried DontThinkSo?
That was the most brilliant reference ever. - Farik, on 10/23/2008, -1/+3That's the ***** point of space exploration, dumbass.
- shadowblade989, on 10/23/2008, -0/+2Luckily, the invasion force would take so long to get there, it can easily be aborted with no damage done come January.
- theatheist, on 10/23/2008, -0/+2thunder and panspermia still remain as the most credible source for life to spawn around the universe. great find, specialy in our own neck of the woods. i wish ESA/ NASA hurry up and send a more sophisticated rover to Titan.
- yujie, on 10/23/2008, -1/+3Haven't they learn from watching Planets of the Apes?
- jawagas, on 10/23/2008, -0/+2what was that? ***** yeah I just bought the Alien, Aliens, and Aliens 3
- Sefus, on 10/23/2008, -0/+1I agree. Bailout anyone?
1. Take a bit from the space program
2. Legalize it then tax it
fixt. - GothAlice, on 10/23/2008, -0/+1Clarke had an epic win, there.
