Islands on Titan's

A 90 by 150 km large island. This moon is giving Mars a run for its money for the most interesting place in the solar system (besides earth)

Man they really need to get a probe out there, lets see if theres any life under that ice in the oceans!

Yes. That would be finally an INTERESTING Nasa test.

Looks like San Francsco Bay with Sri Lanka parked in the middle of it. No bay bridges?

 

what ice? lolly...
were are talking Titan here, there are no oceans, just methane lakes.

 

a lake you say? Perhaps but then again the island is pretty much rectangular
So given it's 90*150km it has a land mass of 13 500km² for some comparision the island of hawai is only 10 458 km². Lakes that have islands bigger then Hawai are starting to get pretty big lakes I think.
This place is defenitly worth a zeplin mission or something.

 

Interesting to wonder about life forms based on methane instead of water. Will they be smarter than us ?

 

were talking at most, bacteria there. Its way too cold.

More study is necesairy but there doesn't seem to be much plant life/surface covering. One thing is sure it's verry cold over there

For the fact if they are smarter then us: I haven't seen one of them sending probes to us.

not inpossible in theorie

 

Are you implying that none of the current or past missions are interesting?

Obviously you do not, but I anticipate *any* new developments from the varying missions that are currently in place with great interest.

Besides, when it concerns Science and Astronomy specifically, there aren't any uninteresting tests (yes even studying dung beetles has a purpose!).

 

What bacteria, thats what u get on earth, on Titan there are [ENC]Methacterias[/ENC].

 

Methacterias do they feed on methane or is the solution inside methane, they must life under pressure for methane to be liquid on earth. No I think they eat methane, still it's not a bad gues

I wonder when we will gave a complete map of titan

 

no such thing as methacteria, if you mean methane breathing bacteria they are called: Methanotroph
http://www.tigr.org/news/pr_09_20f_04.shtml
Methylococcus capsulatus is an example

and methane producing bacteria are called: methanogens
http://www.science.siu.edu/microbiology/micr425/425Notes/10-Methane.html

 

There is no need to breath in liquid methane if u r made 70% of methane, u just need to drink it.

That's starting to get pretty big I wonder how much percent is going to turn out liquid this one alone covers 0.12% and their might be more

lakes lakes and lakes. I wonder if we have 2 worlds in this solar system (mars water doesn't realy count) that are partially liquid covered that it is a trent that should be expected from other exo solar system planets and if there any other possible seas then water or methane.

 

I wonder what the Titanian's stock their Methane lakes with? Maybe frozen Titan Trout for starters.
