Titan (moon of Saturn)
Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the second-largest moon in the solar system. It has a thick, hazy atmosphere mainly composed of nitrogen, with traces of methane, giving it a unique, Earth-like weather system including rain and lakes. Its surface features include lakes of liquid hydrocarbons and complex organic molecules, making it a prime target for studying prebiotic chemistry. Titan’s cold environment (-290°F or -179°C) prevents water from being liquid, but its chemistry suggests it could harbor the building blocks of life. It’s a fascinating world that offers insights into planetary processes and potential habitability beyond Earth.
