I wish I understood. Sounds cool. And, I always marvel at the science in other places/planets and how they came to be.

I’m sure we could send some NASA muzzies up there and if they get allpissy we just put outr finger on the red buton. Saturn...hmm we’ve already been there( 60’s show Lost In Space-none-fiction). Seriously though interesting article.

Darn it, you made me look up the words

dication
A dication is any cation, of general formula 2+,
formed by the removal of two electrons from a neutral species.

Not that it helped me much...
But it explained why a noble gas would react with it

But the problem is that Argon is an extremely heavy gas and isn’t likely to existing any Titan’s upper atmosphere at all.

In find it interesting that we have *several* planets that have lots of hydrocarbon content in their atmosphere (obviously from non-life based sources) and yet somehow on earth, it’s got to be *dead dinosaur crap* that forms the vast extent of our hydrocarbons.

But if there was the continual formation of hydrocarbon material deep in the earth, there would be no *peak oil* — and prices would not be speculating the way they are today.....
