These mosaics of the Saturn moon Titan's surface were constructed using data gathered over 13 years by the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer instrument aboard NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

Looks like a moldy orange. Who can fathom what new penicillins this moldy orange offers?

Titan is an interesting moon (or planet). Titan has seas of methane (and ethane). Ethane is flamable and natural gas is 95.2% methane. The second largest component of natural gas is ethane (then propane).
I suppose since natural gas (and its liquid for petroleum) are fossil fuels, there must be lots of dead dinos on Titan. /sarc
Methane and natural gas are created in the mantle.

Darned big Moldy Orange, also finding mold on it’s surface would be an amazing discovery
To: BenLurkin
Pretty awesome. I saw on the news crawl yesterday that they just found a few more moons of Jupiter. There’s dozens of them, and when I was in school there were just 5 or so IIRC

And yet there are scientists,including some astronomers,who are *convinced* that there's no God.

Titan is 3200 miles in diameter, versus earth’s 8000 miles. So it is not a small object in our solar system for sure.

Actually, Titan looks pretty boring compared to our moon. Visible light can't penetrate the uniform haze of the its upper atmosphere.
To: Vic S
I guess nobody better light a match near it.
