Scientists have found evidence that there is life on Saturn's biggest moon, Titan.
They have discovered clues that primitive aliens are breathing in Titan's atmosphere and feeding on fuel at the surface.
The startling discoveries, made using an orbiting spacecraft, are revealed in two separate reports.

The first paper, in the journal Icarus, shows that hydrogen gas flowing down through Titan's atmosphere disappears at the surface, suggesting it could be being breathed by alien bugs.
The second paper, in the Journal of Geophysical Research, reports there is a lack of a certain chemical on the surface, leading scientists to believe it may be being consumed by life.

Experts warn that there could be other explanations for the results.

Don't you just love how the media makes a headline of "There is life on Titan!" while the entire article really just says "There are things happening on Titan that could mean life on Titan, but we don't really have any evidence."
lanux128:
this article has been given the usual tabloid spin by the daily mail, it seems.. ;D
Deozaan:
This is another thing I don't get:
Professor John Zarnecki, of the Open University, said: 'We believe the chemistry is there for life to form. It just needs heat and warmth to kick-start the process.

Since when do heat and warmth (aren't those the same things?) magically create life out of dust?

What I don't get is why they aren't passing out tinfoil hats for us as protection~! :P
