ive been reading a book which has stated that there is a substantial green

( similar to the Venus one but not so extream ) the upshot of which is the

warmer surface temperature than one would normally expect considering its
distance from
the sun, the authur was hinting that we cant rule out some type of
biological activity there.
When does that cassini probe get there?

This just arrived, radar from Areceibo confirming (well almost 100%
confirming) liquid hydorcarbon on Titan.

Cassini details on

http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov

They have just announced Cassini experiments confirming accuracy of
relativity predictions for bending of light passing massive object -
using radio signals at time when Cassini was on opposite side of Sun
from Earth.
