They did it again at APOD! Another absolutely stunning image from Cassini (click on it for full view)! apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap170829.ht…

Cool wallpaper of one of the planets in our solar system.
Not cool as in cold but cool as how it looks and mysteries around.

Ah... Titan. Way cool world, indeed, Sir. This tiny place, although twice the size of our moon, has a primordal ecosystem that closely resembles what our planet must have looked like just before the onset of life. Of coarse, the Earth was much warmer, but the chemistry is similar. I think we need to mount up a mission to Titan and see what is out there. We stand to gain more there than at Mars, IMHO. I am looking forward to what comes next, the mission to Europa. Already, Juno is swamping the science folks with data. We are given good cause to go out there...

Beneath Titans frozen shell is a salty sea which is similar to our sea.
NASA had a mission called "Cassini" there to get some information.
Link: saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/science/ti…
There is tons off stuff out there we not even know what is for sure.
All I know is that science and space travels is cool.
To me I don't wanna spend years in space as I most likely be home sick.
I respect who does it and the work them do.

Many thanks for the link. One can spend a lot of time at JPL...

Would be fun to visit there sometime.
I would bring a bunch of questions.
