There is liquid on Saturn's Titan satellite

The US Aerospace Agency has just released a photo showing the presence of a liquid in the northern hemisphere of Titan, Saturn's largest satellite. The findings show that life can grow on this satellite.

Titan is a celestial body with many hollow-shaped basins. The US Aerospace Agency (NASA) launches the Cassini spacecraft to orbit Saturn to search for hydrocarbon compounds on Titan satellites in 2004. Titan's surface is quite obscure but infrared rays can still be slip through. So Cassini is equipped with an infrared camera.

While studying photos of Cassini taking Titan on July 8, NASA scientists discovered a photo of special sun rays. After analyzing the rays in the photo, they found that they were reflected from a liquid storage area. It is Kraken Mare Lake (about 400,000 km in area), Daily Mail said.

For 20 years, scientists have always believed that methane and ethane exist on Titan's surface.

Page Space says that the liquid in Kraken Mare Lake is not water, but methane and ethane. These two substances contain carbon and hydrogen molecules.

"Titanium and earth are the only two bodies in the solar system that have water on the surface. Cassini's picture shows a lot of things about Titan. It has a thick atmosphere, many large lakes and liquids , " Bob Pappalardo, a NASA expert, spoke to Space.

The existence of hydrocarbon compounds in liquid form on Titan is of interest to scientists because these compounds can create an environment to nourish life.

Ralf Jaumann, another NASA expert, said: "In the future we will study more carefully the liquid on Titan's surface. There are many questions to be answered. Weather phenomena exist on Does the rain exist? Does the liquid move on Titan's surface? " .
