Radio Wave on Saturn's Moon Hints at Hidden Ocean

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the still-no-spice dept.

SleepyHappyDoc writes "The European Space Agency has announced that a mysterious radio wave may indicate the existence of a hidden ocean underneath the surface of Titan. The Cassini-Huygens spaceprobe, which entered Titan's atmosphere over two years ago, collected evidence and information which has led to this potential discovery. This technology may lead to entirely new ways of finding out information about other planets."

    Do methane breathing creatures fart oxygen? That's the important question here!

    We are humans and we eventually ruin everything we touch.

    Yeah, but the dinosaurs touched it first, and apparently the cockroaches have always been touching it, so your pessimism is quite unfounded.

    Question is, is there underground life? If so what the heck does it look like

    Actually, it looks like Paris Hilton.



    and what does it do?

    Shockingly enough, it pretty much does nothing, just like Paris Hilton.

    Shouldn't (one verify facts) first before making a major announcement to the world press??

    Oh, puh-lease! That approach is so pre-9/11.

    however if you're having sex with a weird methane breathing alien fish monster, getting a fart in the face is probably isn't going to bother you.

  9. Re:The answer is in genesis by inviolet · · Score: 1, Funny

    No, not *that* genesis (but I made you look, didn't I). The answer to the question, "why haven't we found life yet" really lies in the fact that what actually gets life going is still quite a mystery.

    No, it's not a mystery at all, you heathen. The answer is stated very clearly in Genesis.
