Blood-logging temperature and six times the distance from Mars, yet NASA lab searching for life on this 'moon'

May 23, 2021



According to the report, Titan is the only planet or moon on whose surface there is evidence of liquid.  Also, there is a thick atmosphere in it.

In search of new Moon

Scientists from all over the world are searching for life on Mars.  Earlier, water has also been discovered on the moon, but it is not that the focus of scientists is only on these two celestial bodies.  Scientists are searching for life on a moon where the temperature is unfavorable for human life.  The temperature on Saturn's moon Titan remains -180 ° C.  Even after this, the Compass Lab of NASA's Glenn Research Center is searching for life here.  NASA has also given 90 crore rupees to the lab for this from official NASA site

Geoffrey Landis, Science Lead Investigator of Compass Lab, said that life is made up of complex organic molecules and is present on Titan in large quantities.  It is found on Titan as 'Tallinn'.  He said that to know more about this, we will have to do research on the surface of Titan and for this, we will have to bring its sample to Earth.

-180°c Temperature

According to the report, Titan is the only planet or moon whose surface has evidence of liquid.  Also, there is a thick atmosphere in it.  Its atmosphere like lakes and weather is similar to that of the earth.  However liquid hydrocarbons are found here and methane rains continue.

 There is a lot of difference between Saturn's moon 'Titan' and Mars, the big reason for this is the presence of atmosphere on Titan.  The temperature here is very low and the average temperature remains around -180 degree Celsius.  Scientists will need such equipment to conduct research on this, which can be operated at a lower temperature than Mars and Moon.

Titan is Six Times More Far Than Mars

It is very difficult to bring samples from Titan to Earth.  The biggest obstacle in this is Titan's distance from Earth.  It is 6 times more than Mars.  Due to the distance it is very difficult to send and operate the equipment on Titan.  Going to Titan from Earth and coming back with a sample will require a lot of fuel.  So scientists want to make their fuel on Titan.
