Titan Tea

Saturn's moon Titan, which is the closest thing to Earth's twin in our solar system, is now looking more and more like our identical cousin. No word yet on whether a hot dog makes it lose control, but data from NASA's Cassini probe has shown that Titan has surface lakes of liquid ethane, making it the only other place in the solar system with surface liquid. Sadly, liquid ethane is a component of crude oil, so I'm sure it won't be there for long. I hear there's an Exxon executive strapping himself to a rocket right now. Although it could just be a sex thing. More details here.
