Amino Acids discovered on Titan (?)
In this interview,
http://wildcat.arizona.edu/papers/98/78/01_1.html, the reporter quotes Martin Tomasko, UA research professor and DISR principal investigator: "Preliminary results show, like Earth, Titan has a significant nitrogen-based atmosphere. Data also shows Titan contains methane, hydrocarbons and amino acids, which are all substances required for primitive life, Tomasko said." I guess we'll find out for sure at the next ESA news conference, 2am PST tomorrow. |
