This just out. Not earth-shattering, but colorful - maybe handy as an up-to-date

Spot on, as usual. But why is it that I find Titan's lakes more interesting than the jets of Enceladus? It's the liquid thing. I keep harking back to that very early post by (I think) Vexgizmo - "Show me the water".

I keep harking back to that very early post by (I think) Vexgizmo - "Show me the water". My suspicion is that Enceladus' jets are simple geology and orbital stressing without the connection to the solid core to provide all the building blocks of life (and I'll state up front that this is strictly an armchair observation). Titan, on the other hand, is endlessly fascinating with many processes and environments. -------------------- |
