Is there life on Titan?

snip Wasn't there previous discussion of Titan having 'underground' oceans(water) that were heated by Jupiter's gravitation force? That would be quite some trick, considering that Titan orbits Saturn. Or am I mixing apples and oranges(Europa)? Something of the kind, no doubt. Europa (which does orbit Jupiter) may well have a liquid layer under the icy materials that cover its surface. But the most notable 'victim' of Jovian tidal forces must be Io, whose vigorous vulcanism is attributed to such stretching & squeezing. -- Odysseus |

Hi Odysseus It is interesting that gravity of our Moon must create
heat in both moving Earth's liquid water,and in its inners liquid rock. Reality is gravity created the heat of the universe. I've preached that for over 60 years. This makes it possible for planets orbiting objects with the mass density of the sun (or greater) that give off little radiation(light) to still be heated,and have life. Bert |
