We have long considered Mars as a potential second home. But the deeper we study our solar system, the more new candidates emerge, some of them perhaps even better for colonization.
Life on Earth in its early stages was radically different from what it is today. The atmosphere was different, completely alien species dominated, and if we were to look at the landscapes that existed back then, we wouldn’t recognize Earth as it is today.
So perhaps, while we are hunting for potentially habitable celestial bodies, we should expand our criteria and contemplate the conditions that would foster the existence of alien life forms. And there’s one world in our solar system that could fit these criteria.
How is Titan the representation of the early Earth? What are these mysterious deserts on Saturn's largest moon, and what causes its lakes to erupt?

Imagine a life where people don’t just live in different countries, but also different planets. It’s so fascinating to think about
would just mean wars on a bigger scale
It would take travelling to a whole new level
there is a great book.
Life doesn't mean humans can live there
Watch The Expanse, it's that exact idea.
Somewhere on Titan: Scientists believe there is life on Earth and its weirder than you think!
Of they had scientists they'd know we were here and what we look like since they'd be watching our transmissions.
@@rivencraft1734 exactly and they have a similar societal structure so that information is drip fed to the average Titanian via TubeYou
On today’s episode, 40 degree F, is life possible?
Some of the more radical scientists even seem to believe there's actually INTELLIGENT life on earth... but they have little evidence to support such a radical hypothesis! 😉
@@rivencraft1734it's a joke.
The James Webb telescope is such an incredible invention. It never ceases to amaze me the things we've ALREADY learned using it even though it hasn't been active for all that long.
We just need some hardcore space camera so we can zoom in some interesting planets. Is that too much to ask?😅😂
Agreed. I remember when Hubble went up, I was so intrigued. Now we have JWT, and it’s amazing. Both frustrate me too because I know, with unlimited stars, moons, planets, galaxies, there is life out there. But what hurts my brain, if we don’t see anything, it doesn’t mean it’s not there now be looking light years away, we see the past. Same if we see life, it may not be there now. Ouch it hurts
This info came from voager and cassini
@@user-vu5yd2kg9f Thank you for telling me that. (I'm not being sarcastic or trying to go "okay know it all" either, I'm being genuine)
Titan is tidally locked to Saturn, NOT the sun. Therefore, it doesn’t have a permanent dark side. The same as our moon, which turns out doesn’t actually have a dark side.
Never did lol its just the far side we don't see. That never made sense to me lol
The video says that Titan is tidally locked to Saturn. It doesn’t say the sun.
Our moon does have a dark side…. Not familiar with Mr Osbourne?
@@Toqtamish129The video says it has a permanent day side due to tidal locking (which is wrong)
@@stevesmith8399 it does not have a dark side. Just a side we don't see. It's known as the far side in 2023 because we know it's not dark.
Really makes you think how trippy it is that we’re just a planet full of life soaring through the cosmos. Wonder if we will find another planet with life and nature one day. Imagine how much different everything would be tho. Trees and just all the plants in general would be so much different.
When we find life on another planet or more likely another moon Religion is going away. The Bible always says we are the only life. The universe is too big and the amount of planets/moons is too many for their too be no life anywhere besides Earth? In my opinion we will find life in our solar system on one of Jupiter's or Saturn's moons but thats just me.
There is life virtually everywhere in the universe
@@ZMAN_420Christianity is going away*
@@orbit1894 I hope all religions are gone soon! All they cause is Lies, Child abuse, Money Laundering, Wars. Everything bad it seems is traced too religion some how.
@@ZMAN_420Think of all the wars, massacres and atrocities committed in the name of religion at a time or another. Could we reach universal peace, in the name of Life, better than any god? Humanity will have to change its mindset and evolve for the necessity of survival, so this could be a positive first step towards an enlightened mankind. Dream on ....
Truth is stranger than fiction! I love this wild cosmos we live in. So much to explore.
When sun will become red giant in some 4.5 billions years in the future, titan may host earth like life
8:17: “sintering” is a term I haven’t heard since I worked in a small factory where we coated ceramic parts with metal paint to very specific measurements and then baked the paint on thru the process of “sintering”.
I clicked on this thinking it was a video for Starfield and then realized it was Destiny😂
we need a manned mission to titan. But I guess our technology is way too underdeveloped to achieve that in my lifetime.
Ya, it's kinda hard to have a big space program when your government would rather pay for the welfare of millions of illegal alien criminals
The US had barely achieved a crewed orbital flight of the Earth in 1961. But developed, tested and landed on the Moon in eight years. Europa has better environmental conditions for hosting life forms, and is about 120 Celsius warmer. Maybe a mission here would be more practicable.
@@ilokivi Costs a sh*tload of money to pay for the welfare of millions of third world illegal alien criminals and savages... USA has lost it's way. There will be no funding for interplanetary missions until our nation returns to sanity. 🇺🇸 TRUMP 2024 SAVE AMERICA 🇺🇸
I saw this ted talk the other day about how we might be the only intelligent life in the universe. The guy said how everything would need to be perfect. The goldy locks zone, the moon creating seasons, moving the tides. All these things that are so prevalent to our world. I don't know what's out there, but it's probably nothing like us.
According to drakes equation they’re should be 36 million intelligent alien species out there . From what we know .
He probably doesn't understand as much as he thinks, and is probably wrong.
So this is what I call the puddle argument (from a quote I can't remember clearly enough): "I fit all the tiny crevices and nooks, this place was clearly built especially for me!" Basically we know a bunch of stuff that contributed to our presence, but to conclude that those are the ONLY configuration that could possibly work, is like saying horses are impossible because we walk on 2 feet. There are a couple things we must assume true because we simply have no other example to draw on. Liquid water to facilitate comical reactions. Carbon based because it's chemically cheap. A star that isn't super active so the planet doesn't get sterilized. Stable across billions of years to give random chance some time to work. LIFE is probably very common. Intelligence... 🤷♂️
He does go into depth about how extremophiles can exist on seemingly desolate planets but are unlike to evolve into complex life. One thing that I find interesting is that we base a lot of our theories on how DNA based lifeforms evolved. If life was made up of something other than DNA, evolution could be dramatically different. It could be possible that similar life forms are better able to support a functioning ecosystem. I mean DNA lifeforms have been on earth for billions of years and nothing else came of it. Theories and ideas can take traction and go far though. I really don't know what to think at this point. @@rivencraft1734
@@rivencraft1734👍
Sounds like a fascinating place to explore, if we ever get to that point.
Yes! I want to read a sci fi story set here. Maybe in the twilight zone!
I've been there. Pretty cool but don't recommend. Gas prices are even higher there.
There may be an orphan gas giant planet just outside the galaxy with a tidally warmed moon with simple life and water geysers spouting out that life which eventually drops into the galaxy seeding life on millions of planets.
why would it have to be "outside" the galaxy" lol
@@raidermaxx2324 for the life to fall into the Galaxy
Really well done and informative. Totally stokes the imagination and interest in Titan.
If life was discovered there, the concept of a goldilocks zone would be disproven. That's a theory in which describes a habitable zone for life bearing celestial objects. Always a specific distance from a star depending on the star's type.
I think the goldilock zone is where life can thrive not the only place its possible to exist
The Goldilocks zone only applies to liquid water which as far as we are aware is a needed element that can support life. Though we could be wrong as we only have one example
Everyone here is wrong. The Goldilocks zone is the region around the HOST STAR that liquid water can exist. But, other factors can come into play. Moons like Enceladus and Europa have liquid water due to tidal heating.
The goldilocks zone only really applies to life as we know it. If there's life on Titan then it's basically guaranteed to be like nothing we have ever seen before.
Goldilocks zone is for liquid water. Not methane.
What could be the size of a Titanian, and what about the period of mitosis? Gives me the cold creeps.
This is quite speculative. To form living biochemistry, like our carbon-based molecules in an aqueous medium, using methane as a medium, would be hard to contemplate.
Plausible on paper but practically speaking? Higher heat means more reactions, lower heat means less. So on balance, just cause it's theoretically possible doesn't mean there's any reason to think it likely.
The Subterranean Methane Men of Titan. There is a story here.
hard to contemplate, but not impossible. .Besides, like the video said, there is an underground salt water ocean underneath all the methane and nitrogen
Even though I didn't like the movie as much as I hoped but now I appreciate the movie "the titan" a bit more on Netflix
I was thinking about that my whole time watching this
Even though it's tidally locked, it's tidally locked to Saturn, not to the Sun. Therefore, shouldn't it get illuminated all around as it orbits Saturn?
Earth is 1 habitable planet in a solar system. A solar system within a galaxy. A galaxy within a nebula. Within the unknown. A spec of sand in a desert. Discovery requires being able to even reach the unknown. We are not alone.
Anybody found Cthullu yet?
How much time it takes to reach titan reaching mars itself is tougher. Even after reaching nearer how much challenging it would be to land on Titan
We’ve landed on titan before
@@undiecover3939 when did this happen.
@@moneygundone1979I'm pretty sure it happened in 2005
Bearing in mind acceleration curves is actually not that long to Mars. Titan would be longer, but if there was interest we'd find an economical way to do it. Thing is it's REALLY cold, far from the sun so solar power isn't going to be particularly efficient and with it's gravity, more expensive to land and take off. Presently there aren't any reasons to go there besides curiosity.
I just looked up acrylonitrile and it's interesting. A colorless volatile liquid (at least at Earth temperatures) that is reactive and toxic at low doses, and smells strongly of garlic or onion. Imagine the skin of beings made from cells with this organic compound, would it look like vinyl? How thick would it need to be to protect them at those temperatures? Would it have an odor? Looking very much forward to the Dragonfly Mission! Edit: I know almost nothing about biochemistry; if someone with knowledge on the subject happens across this comment, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts...
first person to light a cigarette on titan will turn titan into a sun LMAO!
As a smoker, I long wait for that very day. 😄
There are multiple places which could support life of a sort in theory but we'd need to investigate as there are so many things that can destroy life as well.
what do you think America has been doing? We have had robots on Mars for over 20 years
Lol, dragonfly shows up and gets smashed immediately by space yeti.
Crikey! When I was growing up I thought that it was pretty far out that Saturn had 12 moons - or so we thought at the time! But 146??? Phew! I'd hate to be an astronomer these days... keeping track of all the updates must be absolute murder! 😉
I'm all about that slow motion rain
The main and #1 issue with Titan is its extreme cold. It’s unimaginably cold and would cause many accidental deaths
it is a low evolved species, that has evolved a high resilence against accidents and invented the emergency services before the wheel
Layering is the key
Do you mean human deaths? Honestly, I wish I could find a video about humans setting foot on Titan. We need oxygen to breathe but the atmosphere and most elements present there are very reactive to oxygen.
@@LordBelakor very funny 😄
I definitely would recommended the book Project Hail Mary to anyone who likes learning about this kind of stuff! It was a great book
We need to develop probes and rovers to explore the other planets. So much more economical than trying to send people there and back.
They plan on LEAVING 😂 we’re just the lab rats that test it for them first.
I envision life forms with the bodies of crabs and the faces of Social Workers.
Underrated comment
Also the -290 degree temperature would indicate metallic gas states
Thinking and believing is one thing having legitimate facts is another!

Si no se gastara tanto dinero en guerras y desacuerdos, trabajando juntos, ya hubieramos llegado a titan en una 2da y 3ra expedición y ya habriamos descubierto la vida que ahi existe. Con tantas probabilidades a favor es mas que obvio que hay formas de vida ahi
It should be considered illegal to make a video about space and express temperature in farenheit.
Flying off to Titan pronto! So long Earth👋
Earth is literally the most perfect home For You. Learn to be content and make it work for you instead of leaving
how about the energy source that life can exploit on Titan?
Radiation from saturn
3:40 How does being tidally locked to the planet mean it never faces the sun at different angle? It seems like most of it would see the sun at some point as it revolved areind Saturn.
If it only revolves around Saturn, but doesn't rotate on an axis, the same side of the moon is always facing outward. It eclipses with Saturn on every revolution.
Not hard to understand lmao.
@@tokenghost4536 Just like our moon, Titan does not have a light side and a dark side. Rather, it has a Saturn facing side and an outward facing side. These sides sometimes face the Sun and sometimes face away from the Sun. Watching Titan from Saturn, I would think one would see a "full", gibbous", "half" and "crescent" Titan which would indicate different parts of the surface being light or dark at different times.
@@tokenghost4536that's correct, but it doesn't mean there's a permanent day and night side. All of titan receives sunlight at various parts of its orbit, just as the moon does. The way the guy says this in the video is just incorrect.
@@tombirol1693 It would be impossible to see Titan in phases, since Titan is further from the sun than Earth. That is also the reason we never see phases on the planets like Mars, Jupiter and beyond.
Life on Titan....oh ok it's only -296.59 °F must be frost aliens
They have a +40% damage resistance to frost damage and they can't be bound or restricted by ice Spike traps. They deal +15% damage to fire elementals but receive a 30% penalty to movement on earth terrain
That's why I don't think there's life there.
how would we communicate if there was another life on other planets?
You don’t want to find the baddest man on Titan. “Thanos”
If we were to find some form of life on Titan, of course it'd be outlandish. But I rather doubt there is on this weird frozen world. I'd rather bet on Enceladus and other moons with liquid water. I wish there was more serious attempt to search these places...
If it were possible: How massive of a thruster would be required to propel the earth through space? What type of fuel would be best for such a feat? Could we humans use the earth it self as our starship to travel throughout our galaxy? Just fun thoughts.
I wouldn't get too excited ,the planets we Have our eyes on may already be inhabited ,and may not be so friendly
“We will teach them democracy and freedom like always “ lol
really like what?
Remind me on the Grunts from Halo. They also live on a Methane World.
You telling me that it rains giant fart drops in slow motion?
Imagine living there the view of the saturn is so Good
well you have to be on the side that faces Saturn or you will never see it lol
omg lethal company reference
Titan is where you find the aliens from the movie The Crawling eye.
Define 'Life" Would we recognize it? Prob not...
So if the drone (Dragonfly) lands on Titan and somehow creates a spark in the electronics.....we'll rename the moon DragonBall Fu
If life could survive on these planets it would of evolved years ago like we did. It's impossible for life to survive when the atmosphere is this deadly.
People think we need oxygen to breathe, but carbon based life forms are possible.
how on earth is this habitable for humanity??? doesn't look anything near possible
Not for humans but for lifeforms
because it has an atmosphere that you dont need a pressure suit for, like on MArs or the moon. thats why
The cold atmosphere would instantly freeze any exposed skin.
Meanwhile on Titan : ሳይንቲስቶች በምድር ላይ ሕይወት እንዳለ ያምናሉ, እና እርስዎ ከሚያስቡት በላይ እንግዳ ነገር ነው !
You just know that when we eventually get there we will find a friendly Indian corner shop and a Turkish barbershop.
I know if there is life on Titan, it most likely is a type of crab or crab like creature
why
@raidermaxx2324 have you seen in nature crabs and crab like animals it is the most efficient form, especially in deep sea near geothermal vents
You could probably clean the atmosphere using Right chemistry
Me-thane-imals, You-thane-imals, We all Thane for We-thane-imals
Am I the only person that first saw the thumbnail as a girl looking to the distance on Titan?

We need a warp core.
Why chould till present? Isn't there so many powerful telescope
2:17 Says raindrops on Titan are 50% larger than those on Earth. Shows image of raindrop 2000% larger than Earth raindrop.
For some reason it just feels right that a moon with a methane atmosphere would have formed near the 7th planet and then have been captured by Saturn. 🤔
I wonder how they know all this from a planet far far away but yet they can barely know if it’s going to rain tomorrow
A combination of calculations based on observations and general speculation. Predicting the weather isn't exact because it can change quickly. A fair bit of weather forecasts (particularly long term outlooks) are also projected based on historical data and statistics.
Unless we discover something new, it's way too far from the sun to support life on the surface. I'm not sure why some folks are so desperate to find life on places like titan or Mars.
Can't find intelligent life on earth.... that's why.

thats a strange thing to say, when we know that there are extremophiles on earth, that dont use energy from the sun to live, they eat organic compounds or get energy from chimney vents at the bottom of the ocean
Not true. Life thrives in extreme conditions even on earth where it shouldnt be possible such as deep in the ocean. Life finds a way
It’s been done: “The Titan”.
But does it have a stable magnetic field like earth to shield it from radiation?? If it doesn’t, life doesn’t have a chance there
Depends, aquatic or sub terrarian life can persist
Saturn's magnetic field easily encompasses titan and protects it so it does not need its own magnetic field, as far as I am aware it does not have one.
Also apart from Saturn's massive magnetic field titans own thick atmosphere also gives it protection.
I absolutely love these documentaries and this narrators voice
7 years of summer sounds good but 7 years of winter sounds awful.
this isnt what starfield has shown me
I wish theyd send cameras over there lik they did with mars. But its probably more expensive.
Excellent Tim Curry AI voiceover.
Fascinating, but I can't help but thinking that Destiny is a girl's name.
Destiny D. desTinney? She’s a retired mad scientist from the Department of Energy.
It’s a stretch.. but life as we know it probably don’t exist in other life forms… What we think a living organism maybe disproved our theories on other planets/ universes….. We can’t just say what would make we species survive is the UTMOST factors of a living organism… we think we know but we probably don’t know such more
Life is definitely out there whether or not it's in our solar system is ??? But its deff out there we aren't that's special
That's actually contradictory to look for a " Goldilocks zone" fir the sheer fact that life finds a way in a multitude of "inhospitable environments. Just because a location dies not possess the same characteristics that ours does, does not mean life cannot exist. Although the places that are, most like ours is easier to imagine and ultimately like anywhere, has potential for life. Just more likely to have anyvwe could relate too, or kake sense of. Because most of what we know is where we are and who we are. My hypothesis us that the odds of us finding life like us are greater the so xalled "Goldilocks zones":and everywhere else we nothing of will likely have life, just nothing we know about or how to deak with , or where too look, or we might not even recognize it when we see it, or as it stands now we cannot get to it because we will die the closer we get. Either frim the environment itself, or the inhabitants living in or within it. Kych like our own oceans. I think.
If the Atmosphere is so bad how the heck do you expect people to live on the planet?. You said humans can walk and fly on the planet and now you're saying how dangerous it is.
I wonder what would happen if someone created a spark or flame would the methane on titan react or not because of the lack of oxygen
Nothing would happen. Remember the "fire triangle?" A triangle that consists of oxygen, fuel and heat. You need ALL three to create a fire. If one is absent, nothing will occur.
@@Hmongboi228 Ofcoarse kind of a dumb question i forgot no oxygen no fire. One day Titan could be used as sort of a gas station for deep space exploration.
This finding absolutely destroys the WMSCOG doctrine that living organisms can ONLY be given by God the Mother.
All this video explains is how Titan’s atmosphere works. You’re welcome for saving you fifteen minutes.
No waves have ever been detected on Titan.
You lost me when you started talking about it being tidally locked to Saturn meaning only one side faces the sun. That's not how it works. Like our moon only one side faces the planet. The sun still shines on the entire moon same as ours. There's no true dark side of the moon it's just a saying.
Well yes there is, you can find eyeless dogs, forest keepers, earth leviathans and a lot more!
It would be life, Jim, but not as we know it.
Let’s bring them back here. What could go wrong?! 🤣🤣
Weirder than Earth? I believe NOT
Deceptive title-- scientists don't think there is life on Titan.
They thought there were life on mars and Venus as well….
Then how liquid would be exist if that cold 249 F 🧐
Because methane is liquid down to -296.7 F.
how do we know it rains on other planets and how big the drops are?
Well there are actually quite some chances. I mean, not intelligent life because Titan is close and we will definitely notice if something is going on there. But bacteria, algae maybe? Maybe even some kind of rudimentary complex animals? That's entirely possible. It could also be a golden mine for us in order to understand better this universe. If there's life on Titan, it could mean that the galaxy is literally filled with life too. Having two celestial bodies in the same system with life it means that life is a common thing and can prosper everywhere. If not, then it means that the galaxy is lesser populated, with rarer spot able to sustain life and each one of them are unique. So to protect them all potentially. If there's life, we can understand how it works the life there on Titan, so we can discover what turns inorganic materials into organic composites and then again into living beings. We are already at the start of mastering genetics. If we understand how life is born, we will be able to create life from nothing and make great changings in the whole galaxy. Imagine, in a remote future, turning barren rocks scattered around the galaxy into prosperous garden fit and able to support human life. It would just take us to create unmanned ships that travel to these rocks with the necessary equipment to create life and make life itself terraforming these rocks. In some thousands of years (casually the time we need right now to trave around interstellar locations) we would have plenty of places where to settle colonies and prosperous communities. In short, it would be really great to find life on Titan... Or on Europa or Ganymede, Ecedalus, Triton and many more frozen moons of our Sol System.
