    Scientists have found evidence that there may be some form of life on Saturn's biggest moon Titan.
    They have discovered clues that might show that microscopic aliens are breathing in Titan's atmosphere and feeding on fuel at the surface.
    Data from Nasa's Cassini probe has analysed the complex chemistry on the surface of Titan - the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere.
    Its surface is covered with mountains, lakes and rivers which has led astronomers to call it the most Earth-like world in the solar system.

    your eyes deceive you.. the element that control your eye sight are microscopic. your brain enlarges the object in view.

    nano technology, and microwave energy could fry all the surface oil up in a millisecond... but the use of such technology would scare the living shit out of most people..

    so, does that mean i am microscopic? not sure i follow you... i mean, i know that when i look at a mountain in the distance and it is a humid day, the mountain appears bigger and closer, and that when the climate is dry, the mountain seems further away and/or smaller.... but an alien i saw (also seen by my youngest daughter on a seperate occassion) appeared to be quite tall and slender... on one occassion he passed through a window and his size did not appear microscopic... (unless the window is also microscopic?) please clarify for me? :confused:

    Why ever not!!?? :D

    But yeah, that's a cool article. Probably a valid explanation, but it's nice to believe it could all be true.

    Cassini will soon attempt to measure the moons magnetic field.

    Listen to the peasants? The Oh yeh thats cool but get real types... They have 4 IQ points to hand out and there are 4 of them.
    I can rake them into the mud without firing up piston #2 of 8

    They cannot even define the simple dimensions of this solar system. Everything after 'beyond the sky' is SciFi
    So noodle with the falllout3 pic...

    They were eager to find life on Mars... and we all know how that turned out, LOL. I'm not holding my breath over what they think might be on Titan...
