There is a theory that the first earthly amino acids came to be in chemical reactions from lightning strikes to the sea from volcanic ash.



I love volcanic lightning photos. There is very little, insofar as home-planet photography, as epic.

Amino acids literally fall from the sky on one of Saturn's moons, Titan. :interessant:

Oh yes! :idea: Titan is the only moon with a signifcant atmosphere.



Almost a billion miles away, where methane flows like water. :thingy:

They really need to send some sort of specialized submersible over there to dive in, collect data, pop out and trasmit!

ESA already did, the Huygens probe. Batteries ran out 90 minutes after landing though. :oldryan:

Huygens :xx:



Huygens probe :xx:



The probe was stationary (EDIT: while on the moon, that is.) as far as i know. But still, the pics it sent back were :thingy:

Titans atmosphere cant be seen through, but has some cool looking clouds

Pic taken as it was landing

Radar mapping showing lakes of liquid methane.



It's all very surreal. :santa:
