Titan the appropriately named

in #science6 years ago

Its the biggest moon in the solar system, larger than mars, has a decent atmosphere and lakes on its surface.

Only challenge is they are not water lakes but ethane and methane lakes, although, as our sun enters old age and expand as a red giant it will warm up things on Titan enough for there to be liquid water on its surface for a couple of hundred million years.

Is there any possibility that humans can live there?

Species only last a couple of million years, it won't be habitable for a couple of billion yet

But not suprising if there are other living being living there.

Wow, I haven't seen that image before. I always had a vision that it would be a silvery grey ball not orange!

The thick atmosphere is orange due to a dense organonitrogen haze - according to the caption of this image on wikipedia

If I were to strike a match while on the surface, could there be an unfavourable event?
