    >When the Cassini-Huygens mission parted Titan's smoggy veil, it revealed a
    >familiar and yet utterly alien landscape, one where now-dry methane rivers
    >carved out channels in mountains of ice. There's no evidence for biology on
    >Titan's frozen terrain, but in this interview with Astrobiology Magazine,
    >David Grinspoon ponders whether life could exist there today.

    >Saturn's moon Titan has long been a place of interest to astrobiologists,
    >primarily because of its apparent similarities to the early Earth at the
    >time life first started. A thick atmosphere composed primarily of nitrogen
    >and abundant organic molecules (the ingredients of life as we know it) are
    >among the important similarities between these two otherwise dissimilar
    >planetary bodies.
