Titan Moon's Bright Hot Spot

Posted by Zonk on from the shiiiiiny dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has been the target of great interest because of its unusual pre-biotic chemistry and thick atmosphere. The Colorado-Boulder Space Science Institute announced a new mystery today involving a persistently bright spot, perhaps one of four possibilities. The spot could be a surface coloration, a mountain range, a cloud, or a hot spot."

    From the article: If the spot glows at night, researchers will know it's hot.

    It's good to know we've got our brightest people on this.

    Couldn't it just be a red light district? Even the most remote hell-hole needs hookers.
