TITAN

This is Titan. Is there life on Titan? Probably not. Why? First it’s a balmy day today of 118 degrees below zero and I don’t see any ice. So that flat area is some form of liquid. Probably not water. Still, we do not know all the rules. If that not-water isdeep, then down below it’s warmer, because all planetoids this size have tectonic activity and, therefore, are hotter as you go deeper. Fluid and warmth, that’s good for life. My odds for life are back down to 30%.

Tectonics … Ah, that’s another story. Whatever that fluid or flat area is, it is a result of a rift and spread. You see
this dark area ^ below us as we come in for a landing. This below us is the one side of that rift pulled apart in bygone days. At the top of the picture is the opposite side

of the rift. You can actually see a coastline and weather pattern of clouds, of some sort, floating in the air? (We know they are clouds because they were virtually invisible when we were up higher and only now, with perspective, do they appear denser and become visible.) Look past them to the coastline. Doesn’t it look like flying into a coastline on Earth? This isn’t Mars, or the Moon, or Jupiter folks; this is a step forward into our universe. I-am-bubbling folks. Welcome to my thrill ride.

 

Small note: this compiled photo below is the photo NASA put together and presents to the world. At the top of the page is the same series of photos put together and presented here by Zeea Adams. Note the neat and careful matching of photos, the precise retouching that lets you view this incredible panorama in a way that lets you focus and actually SEE what the eye could see. A comment! Why doesn't NASA really show us, in a professional way what there is to be seen. By the way Titan clearly has a magnetic field if you use the Adams theory as proof. To wit: if a sky can contain clouds... then there's a magnetic field holding those clouds up there.
