Titan's "magic islands" are likely floating chunks of porous, frozen organic solids, a new study finds, pivoting from previous work suggesting they were gas bubbles. The study was published in Geophysical Research Letters.

    Great article, but that “summary” diagram from the original author is garbage lol

    I haven’t seen the evidence of ‘water oceans’ out there that are about more than a few water ‘geysers’ spewing from below the frozen surfaces like our breaths on winter mornings.

    Whenever I hear the words ‘water’ or ‘life’ in a message from NASA I think, ‘Hmmm… who stands to gain from this PR?’ (At least telescopes return great pix and -other, visible- evidence.)
