Titan
Has anyone been following the landing of the Hugyens probe on the surface of Titan? Titan is a moon of Saturn. It is larger than some of the planets and has an atmosphere. The pictures show rivers, lakes, clouds and rocky shores. But Titan's surface temperature is 260 below zero Farenheit. The rivers and lakes and clouds are not water but methane and ethane. The stones are mostly water and some tar. At that temperature ice freezes hard as steel. On Titan it rains liquid methane and the rivers take it on down to the seas.
