"We conclude that Titan's uniquely rich organic inventory may not in fact be available to play the role in the moon's habitability to the extent one might intuitively think." ...

So, if life exists on Titan, it might not resemble the thriving, teeming ecosystems we know. Instead, think of isolated oases — tiny, slow-growing communities, perhaps tucked away in warmer pockets, ...

A new study explores the possibility of microbial life in Titan's deep ocean—and why it may be harder to find than we think.

NASA is preparing to explore Titan, Saturn’s largest moon - and possibly our best chance at a second home in the solar system. With a thick atmosphere, stable surface, and resources like methane ...
