Saturn's Moons Harboring Water?
eldavojohn writes "New bizarre images of Saturn's moons are exciting scientists as there may be some indication of water, possibly at very low depths in the frigid environment they possess. From the article, 'Titan's north pole is currently gripped by winter. And quite a winter it is, with temperatures dropping to -180C and a rain of methane and ethane drizzling down, filling the moon's lakes and seas. These liquids also carve meandering rivers and channels on the moon's surface. Finally, last week NASA and Esa revealed images from Cassini which confirmed that jets of fine, icy particles are spraying from Saturn's moon Enceladus and originate from a hot 'tiger stripe' fracture that straddles the moon's south polar region. The discovery raises the prospect of liquid water existing on Enceladus, and possibly life.' You can find the images here."

I'm guessing this is a non-smoking moon?

Methane rain drizzling down to form lakes and rivers? :-(
Is that the celestial equivalent of wet farts?
That must be proof of an Intelligent Evil Designer if any.

See, if Venus had done a better job controlling their illegal immigration issues, we wouldn't be having this problem.
They already found water on Mars: http://m.blog.hu/cy/cydonia/image/misc/First_Picture_of_Water_on_Mars.jpg
