>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

>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

>and abundant organic molecules (the ingredients of life as we know it) are
>among the important similarities between these two otherwise dissimilar
>planetary bodies.
