Saturn's moon Titan is one of the most bizarre places in the solar system, and now, to make things even stranger, the scientists found traces of propylene, the chemical used to make Tupperware, next floating in his thick orange atmosphere.
larger than Mercury, Titan is a world where freezing temperatures are around 228 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. It is the only moon in our solar system with the clouds, next and again as we are on earth. But when it rains on Titan, it rains liquid methane.
"Methane take the same role as water on Titan," explained Conor Nixon, next a planetary scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. "That on the surface evaporates and then rains back."
The discovery of propylene in this mysterious world's smoggy next atmosphere is more satisfying than surprising, Nixon said. Since Voyager 1 researchers their first close-up look at Titan's atmosphere in 1980, they expected to find it.
Propylene is a three-carbon gas such as propane next and Propyne. More than 30 years ago, Voyager's instruments detected both propane (as we use in a camper stove) and Propyne in the planet's atmosphere, but not propylene.
the elusive gas find, Nixon used the data collected by the Cassini spacecraft's composite infrared spectrometer. The instrument is one of 12 aboard Cassini, measure the spectral signature of the heat coming off planets and other bodies in the solar system.
