NASA Now Discovers Liquid on Saturn's Moon
NASA seems to have started doing justice to all those tax dollars. Its latest discovery is the presence of liquid hydrocarbons on the surface of Saturn's moon, Titan. The hydrocarbon is ethane, which is a component of crude oil. Scientists have known...
Cassini scans lunar lakes
Pasadena :: TX :: USA | about 1 year ago
Credibility Scientists touring Saturn's largest moon via the Cassini orbiter have found strong evidence for liquid ethane in Ontario Lacus (Lake Ontario). It's a Great Lake-size body of liquid pooled near Titan's South Pole. This is the first time Cassini has been...
Cassini spacecraft finds ocean beneath Titan’s crust
Pasadena :: TX :: USA | about 1 year ago
Credibility As the long quest for alien life goes on and with the discovery of earth-like planets outside the solar system in distant galaxies, here is a surprising find in our own neighbourhood. Cassini spacecraft has discovered evidence that points to the
