Liquid found on Titan---The moon of Saturn

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn.
What's new?Even earth has a big moon....Is that your question?Then Yes there is a difference.

Titan is the only natural satellite of Saturn known to have dense atmosphere.It is the only object other than Earth for which clear proof of stable bodies of surface liquid has been detected.

Discovery of Titan

    Well, its a long story to go.It has a lot of inspirations and feed backs...Titan was discovered on March 25(1655) by a Dutch  astronomer named Christian Huygens. Huygens learnt and studied the discovery of Jupiter's moons in the year 1610.The discovery of Jupiter's four largest moons in 1610 and Galileo's  improvements on telescope  technology inspired him to a great extent.'Luck and quality of Telescope', are the two contributing factors for the discovery of Titan is what Huygens told when asked about his discovery.Great!!!! Hmmm...

Features of Titan
Titan is numbered Saturn VI because after the 1789 discoveries the numbering scheme was stopped to avoid causing any more confusion.Many number of small moons have been discovered nearer to Saturn since then.Titan orbits Saturn once every 15 days and 22 hours.Titan is has several layers with 3,400 km rocky center circumferenced by several layers having different crystal forms of ice.
Titan is generally described as the planet like moon and has radius about 100 times the radius of the moon.

Discovery of Liquid

Ammonia---this element having a chemical formula of NH3 creates a very big difference in the atmosphere of Titan...Why? Is that your question..Then here is your answer....
The presence of ammonia makes water to remain in the liquid state even at temperatures as low as -19 °C(Can you believe it..?).But that's a fact which we can't deny or defy....Proof for such presence has been recently uncovered by the Cassini probe.What's this Cassini?
Cassini is a spacecraft of NASA that aims to discover the Features and the hidden aspects of Titan--the moon of Saturn.
n September 2006, Cassini photographed a large cloud at a height of 40 km over Titan's north pole.The cloud was more likely to be ethane.The possibility that there were seas and pools of liquid CH4 on Titan were first proposed based on Voyager 1 and 2. But no evidence was shown till 1995 when data from Hubble and other observations suggested the existence of liquid methane on Titan.

Cassini scientists had been looking for liquid,since the spacecraft began orbiting Saturn in 2004.But no traces of luck were found.Then, Cassini Spacecraft has captured the first flash of sunlight reflected off a lake on Titan.This confirmed the presence of liquid on the part of the moon.Interesting Isn't it?.....Well a big YES!!!!!!

This is the first observation that really pins down that Titan has a surface lake filled with liquid," said Bob Brown of the University of Arizona, Tucson.
Analogy goes on like Earth has a hydrological cycle based on water and Titan has a cycle based on methane.

So, lets all wait to witness the revolution that takes place which might create ripples in the history of solar system after moon and mars.

Letz think about the start....!

START - sounds good but difficult to figure it out.But still few out our human race gave a fictitious story later turned it as an assumption and now holds bunches of evidences to prove it.We have few scientists if do date back to history right from ancient Egyptians, Indian astronomers back at 300 - 550 B.C. many of the flourished and now enter the new age with European and American scientists worked and still working harder on exploring the DARK.......

The story says that there was a matter exists which contains collection of different gases which intent depended upon pressure-temperature-composition-energy in the form of unknown state.This made up to reach up to a state where every thing gonna be no more tolerated and burst out BANG BANG BANG BANG - output - BIG BANG....

This big bang tells us the so called antimatter which do not exists would have turned up into bang and started expanding and cooling. As it goes on cooling it started attained predominant over the antimatter.This created galaxies, heavenly bodies,asteroids,meteorites,planets, stars and the list goes on.

Later depending upon the gravity straits and positioning straits the universe has relocated itself and relocating still ... since this is expanding and cooling the things are moving far away.This universe is collection of different things.. and all these things are still yet to be explored.Dark is still unknown, man is struggling to find out the miracles of god's creation and still on his way....

Dark is still expanding and there is a lot to explore....

Why we are here..?

No one on this earth, never know what could be the true reason behind the the origin of a thing called .... "LIVING.." All the theories till date are assumptions.Some truly prove what they mean, at the same time they get disproved with what was actually thought of to be TRUE...!

I think all in and around the globe have at most thought about why we are actually here and what was before and will be after us...! We always question our self looking into our fastest computer [brain] and land up being dazed at unanswered to some unsolved questions...

There are many questions which are unanswered .. but still man did not given up.. he laid down a way towards the unknown destiny,searching about the start of what we have today but is still perfectly unknown..... but few consequences led the book worms to generalize.
These book worms aren't confined.. but still they give a hope to understand our self's and estimate where we stand in this unexplored Darkness........!

Have you ever think so....!
then starting thinking about it..... EXPLORE...

Mars as a planet

Are you in a mood to let your thinking go beyond the frontiers of Earth? Then YES you landed yourself in the right place intentionally or unintentionally.......

Hello everyone,

Lets start off with MARS::

Mars---the fourth planet in our solar system.
Is that all?--Well NO, there is lot more about it.

Before getting into astronomical terms, let's talk something mythological.

MARS is the son of Jupiter, the lover of Venus and the husband of Bellona and above all he is the god of Romans.Though Jupiter is the main god of the Romans, Mars is considered as the god of vegetation who protects cattle.He was considered the guardian god of the city of Rome. As he was believed as the legendary father of Rome's founder, Romulus, the belief was that all residents of Rome were the direct descendants of Mars.

In astronomical terms, as we all know Mars id the fourth planet in our solar system and is also considered to be an inhabitant planet only next to earth.

It is also called as the red planet and is the only visible planet from the earth without telescopes.It is generally seen in the night.Astronomers who are otherwise called as space gazers considered Mars as the next terrestrial planet with the evidences of water present in it.

But it is not practically possible because Mars has 95% carbon dioxide and only 0.13% of oxygen and water cannot be even considered in mathematical terms.Temperature is also not as of earth.It is -63° C on an average.So with these proportions of life supporting elements, is it possible for human beings to live and sustain...Well the answer may sound a bit unfavoring, but its the fact which we need to accept.

Mars crust is similar to Earth's, a mantle and a core. Mars core size and mass can be determined. Mass and size was determined accurately from early missions. But no other factors see the limelight till date.

So there are points which support as well as go against the fact of life acceptance in Mars.

Let us all wait to witness the change the technology undergoes to decide the whether we can rely on the planet for life if earth runs out of resources.
