Pictures of our solar system never gets old to me. I'm always amazed by the beauty of other planets and moons that used to be out of reach. But sometimes, something more profound appears. Once in a while, similarities with home are discovered.

Here is one, for example: After Europa -- one of Jupiter's moons discovered by Galileo Galilei -- NASA is almost certain that there is water under the surface of Titan.

The discovery was made after observing tides around 30 feet high on the surface of the moon, suggesting that Titan isn't entirely made of solid rock, but instead the surface would lie on a sub-ocean.



You might argue that there will be no light from the sun, therefore life cannot emerge, but studies on earth showed that water and heat is all life needs. And for the heat, it would come from the strong gravity from Saturn, intensely squeezing the planet during its 16-day orbit. Do you believe in life on the Saturn Moon?


NASA.GOV reports:
Data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft have revealed Saturn's moon Titan likely harbors a layer of liquid water under its ice shell.
