However, dipping 179 degrees C (290 degrees F) below freezing, these lakes are definitely not filled with water. "The water is frozen so solid on Titan that you can liken it to silicate rocks on Earth," says Vincent Chevrier of the University of Arkansas. The liquid on Titan is likely a hydrocarbon cocktail of mostly methane and ethane, judging from obse ... read more |
