What will the Huygen's probe find on Titan?

Thump... the gas company isn't there to put the odor in that methane.
:rofl: :rofl:

Isn't methane what comes out of our ass?

EDIT**You're right the methane that somes out of us is mixed up with the odors of the food from the digestion process.

Thank you almighty AKAK for showing me the error in my ways.:bow: :biggrin:

Yeas thump.. methane does come out of our ass... but its other stuff that comes out of our ass that makes it stink.. the methane is odorless... kind of like sulfur that makes water stink.

I think Alan is implying that there are scary aliens on titan...

Anyone else think this is a lot of light for something 1.4 billion km from the sun?
They were probably using a flash. :tongue2:

Actually, the Huygens probe did have a lamp on it for that reason. I'm not sure how much of the light in the picture is from the lamp, though. Even the raw image in black and white had plenty of light to make out details, so I don't think it's all photoshop work.

Like Methane.

(Or some other Hydrocarbon... Butane... Hexane...heptane... octane.. Propane... I apologize for not knowing theri specific properties off the top of my head)

Methan freezes at -184 C... which is 299ish F.
