Saturn’s largest moon home to prebiotic ‘soup’
Organics dissolved in Titan’s lakes may create conditions suitable for life
Scientists should expand their quest for life in other worlds by searching for any kind of liquid, not just water, say researchers. Rich organic chemistry can occur in many types of liquid, and a recent study supports the idea that a prebiotic ‘soup,’ from which life could emerge, may be present in hydrocarbon lakes of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan.
