And some dude published a speculation on his blog that the announcement might be that NASA had found bacterial life on Titan, which lots of people re-blogged as proof of NASA's finding. LOL |

titan has been one of the best examples in our solar system of possible extra-terrestrial life. oddly enough, its just a moon of saturn. i've heard about possible stuff on there for a long time. of course, it's just speculation; but they've been thinking about it for years. |

| Yeah, I know. If there's any chance that life exists elsewhere on our solar system, Titan is the safest bet because it appears to have vast amounts of liquid water under a thick layer of ice. Still, this guy jumped the gun. :p |

| I thought that Europa was considered the most likely candidate. |

| They are going to finally announce that white people spawned from the devil planet of Saturn. |

| tubularbills |
| Yeah, Europa was another one too. |

| Actually, there's a couple of moons that are often said to be the most likely candidates: Europa and Io in Jupiter; and Titan and Enceladus in Saturn. :p |

Bingo!
For me, Titan should be the spotlight for Extraterrestrial Life in the Solar System, especially in terms of it's atmosphere. It's closely related to the Earth in this manner, except for it's Methane based. It may be far from the Sun, but Methane can exist in three states on Titan, the same as water can on the Earth.
Intriguing? I think so ;) |

| Interesting, I've always hoped we're not alone. Then you realise we can't possible be alone. |

You'll never be alone as long as you're hungry for the spirit of Jesus.
And if it's not in the Bible, I don't believe in it! |
