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.
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! 😉
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.
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
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
hard to contemplate, but not impossible. .Besides, like the video said, there is an underground salt water ocean underneath all the methane and nitrogen
Sometimes when I have gas, I fill up my bed sheets with methane. Would this make my environment like that of Titan? Does this mean I have adapted to survive on Titan, without a gas mask?
Very well said indeed!. I have also Developed this very "talent" of being able to thrive in methane as long as there is some Oxygen mixed into it. I guess that we (You and me)are the first ones to get shipped off to Titan(and all the fart-jokes on the way there🤕😷❤🩹) when they have finally realized that Mars is "somewhat dangerous"🙂😇🥰😄😂
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.
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.
Why Titan is the best place to colonize in the solar system? - has all the hydrocarbons and things needed to manufacture polymers and pretty much anything - great base for industry and manufacturing - has underwater oceans Cons: - it's far - if you introduce too much oxygen in the atmosphere and warm it up too much, its atmosphere would quite literally explode/burn.
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.

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.
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! 😉
Titan will be a great place to colonize in the future being the 2nd most hospitable place for humans in the solar system . If we have the nuclear powered spaceships to traverse the solar system naturally like a ship on the seas on earth, that would make it easier to deal with . With nuclear power to provide steady a power of electricity for the colony/domes base of operations etc , being able mass produce hydrogen and oxygen from water electrolysis in large reserves to have a steady suppy and back upp just in case . The oxygen is for breathing and oxidizer for fuel for land vehicles, aircrafts like airships and propeller planes etc, and space planes. The lower gravity will make it for air travel go a lot easier and efficient , with the hydrogen you can use it to lift a large airship fleet to transport things around and theres no oxygen in the atmosphere it wouldn't catch in flames hardly. The space planes can easily go back and forth from the other moons of saturn , having mining operations and research facilities etc to support the hub of human population on titan. With the huge access of 100's X of hydrocarbons we can make all the plastic we to for building and technology materials etc , which all the fuel you need for centuries to support a thriving colony in Saturn's system. With all the nitrogen and hydrocarbons with organic compounds in it you have all the fertilizer you need to grow large quantities of crops etc , if you recycle human, plant and animal waste you can mix that in the mix to ger better fertilizer soil. So basically once you the ball rolling on it and work out the kinks you can have functional sustainable colony. If you love nighttime style theme background with a rainy relax feel to it then this would be great for you. It would have sci-fi neon lights to light the cloudy misty sky , it would feel like time has slowed down with a rainy lazy day atmosphere. This just a few of the things thats cool about Titan.
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.
Instead of thinking about traveling to the Moon or Mars or Titan maybe thinking about how we can use the resources of these spots to get us to other plants more Earth like? Can we and should we consider using others to get us to where we want to be but more in advance?
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.
Mars has less atmospheric pressure the earth. Us on mars would be like a deep sea fish getting pulled the surface. We’d bloat and explode. Titan has more or less the same pressure as earth.

It's very likely lots of tourist that lived the back side of the planet to visit the front side just to see the beautiful Saturn in the sky they might prefer to live with a nice view of the planet.
The ONLY way any of these places are an option is if we build oneil cylinders that park in orbit around the planet we want to exploit. There's no way we can live here. Its a nightmare like every other world
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. 🤔
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.

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.
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
It gets weirder STILL: Titan might have not one, but TWO, biospheres! One in the World Above (i.e., the surface), and one in the World Below (underground, where liquid water exists). The lifeforms in the World Above have methane-based body fluids and can thus thrive in the super-cold temperatures found on the surface of this moon -- temperatures that make water ice as hard as rock; and the lifeforms in the World Below have water-based body fluids, just like we do.
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...
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.
Titan is so far away from the sun its not as affected at all, Saturn's magnetic field protects it and Titan's thick atmosphere gives extra protection too
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.

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.
The cold atmosphere would instantly freeze any exposed skin.
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! 😉
In reality there is no place in our solar system fit for humans. Other life yes
You just know that when we eventually get there we will find a friendly Indian corner shop and a Turkish barbershop.
7 years of summer sounds good but 7 years of winter sounds awful.
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
Titan will be a great place to colonize in the future being the 2nd most hospitable place for humans in the solar system . If we have the nuclear powered spaceships to traverse the solar system naturally like a ship on the seas on earth, that would make it easier to deal with . With nuclear power to provide steady a power of electricity for the colony/domes base of operations etc , being able mass produce hydrogen and oxygen from water electrolysis in large reserves to have a steady suppy and back upp just in case . The oxygen is for breathing and oxidizer for fuel for land vehicles, aircrafts like airships and propeller planes etc, and space planes. The lower gravity will make it for air travel go a lot easier and efficient , with the hydrogen you can use it to lift a large airship fleet to transport things around and theres no oxygen in the atmosphere it wouldn't catch in flames hardly. The space planes can easily go back and forth from the other moons of saturn , having mining operations and research facilities etc to support the hub of human population on titan. With the huge access of 100's X of hydrocarbons we can make all the plastic we to for building and technology materials etc , which all the fuel you need for centuries to support a thriving colony in Saturn's system. With all the nitrogen and hydrocarbons with organic compounds in it you have all the fertilizer you need to grow large quantities of crops etc , if you recycle human, plant and animal waste you can mix that in the mix to ger better fertilizer soil. So basically once you the ball rolling on it and work out the kinks you can have functional sustainable colony. If you love nighttime style theme background with a rainy relax feel to it then this would be great for you. It would have sci-fi neon lights to light the cloudy misty sky , it would feel like time has slowed down with a rainy lazy day atmosphere. This just a few of the things thats cool about Titan.
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.
this isnt what starfield has shown me
Me-thane-imals, You-thane-imals, We all Thane for We-thane-imals
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
Instead of thinking about traveling to the Moon or Mars or Titan maybe thinking about how we can use the resources of these spots to get us to other plants more Earth like? Can we and should we consider using others to get us to where we want to be but more in advance?
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
@@raidermaxx2324 Yes, all space agencies have done it. I'm just saying it and think it should be a bigger priority but that's just my view
Also the -290 degree temperature would indicate metallic gas states
Am I the only person that first saw the thumbnail as a girl looking to the distance on Titan?
All you need to be a scientist is a lab coat RIGHT?
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
Mars has less atmospheric pressure the earth. Us on mars would be like a deep sea fish getting pulled the surface. We’d bloat and explode. Titan has more or less the same pressure as earth.

Thinking and believing is one thing having legitimate facts is another!
Titan is where you find the aliens from the movie The Crawling eye.
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.
@@PerceptionVsReality333does it have an active core? on earth in the deepest part of our oceans we have snails with iron shells that live in the thermal vents. could titan have a similar creature under its icy ocean?
@@AspectofFrost
There's a possibility.
Not when you're in the "twilight zone"..
Meh. They would probably just look like siphonophores at worst.
So if the drone (Dragonfly) lands on Titan and somehow creates a spark in the electronics.....we'll rename the moon DragonBall Fu
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.
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?
Deceptive title-- scientists don't think there is life on Titan.
I’m hoping to do a titan swap on my truck
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’s been done: “The Titan”.
Excellent Tim Curry AI voiceover.
It's very likely lots of tourist that lived the back side of the planet to visit the front side just to see the beautiful Saturn in the sky they might prefer to live with a nice view of the planet.
how about the energy source that life can exploit on Titan?
Radiation from saturn
The ONLY way any of these places are an option is if we build oneil cylinders that park in orbit around the planet we want to exploit. There's no way we can live here. Its a nightmare like every other world
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. 🤔
A satellite where it rains metan, wow, looks perfect for living
If life exists beyond earth, it exists on planets in Goldilocks Zones around other stars.
The End.
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
Please do Europa next!
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.
Excellent video! 👍🏻
Its a.i generated
Are you a real person?
@@iceshadow487 NO!
@@HombreDufff Oh I thought you meant the video was A.I. generated. A.I. generated won't have a picture of anything. LOL
@@ZMAN_420 yes the video!! There are many youtube channels that are done by using a.i mods... the creators choose the main topic of the video and the bullet points they wanna go through + the lenght of the video of their preference.

Im not talking non sense. Please look it up. There are tons of youtube channels that opperate like this. And for science channels, there aree maaany like this one.
Pretty sure if we could live on Titan we could live just about anywhere.
SOME scientists MAY believe there is life on Titan
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 gets weirder STILL: Titan might have not one, but TWO, biospheres! One in the World Above (i.e., the surface), and one in the World Below (underground, where liquid water exists). The lifeforms in the World Above have methane-based body fluids and can thus thrive in the super-cold temperatures found on the surface of this moon -- temperatures that make water ice as hard as rock; and the lifeforms in the World Below have water-based body fluids, just like we do.
So if you landed on it with a rocket engine you might blow the whole place up with the methane gas
Hahaha spot on mate..spot on 😊
Also don't light up a cigarette there
If hell was a planet
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...
You could probably clean the atmosphere using Right chemistry
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.
Titan is so far away from the sun its not as affected at all, Saturn's magnetic field protects it and Titan's thick atmosphere gives extra protection too
Titan is far away from the sun it ain't as affected, Saturn's magnetic field protect it, and Titan's thick atmosphere protects too.
how would we communicate if there was another life on other planets?
Doesn’t Thanos live on Titan?
I definitely would recommended the book Project Hail Mary to anyone who likes learning about this kind of stuff! It was a great book
I intend to land a module on the dark side of the sun.
Define 'Life"
Would we recognize it?
Prob not...
What does that even mean? Like what is your question? Are you just saying words lol
Weirder than Earth? I believe
NOT
No waves have ever been detected on Titan.
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 you cannot see saturn form the surface i would never go there..
2:17 Says raindrops on Titan are 50% larger than those on Earth. Shows image of raindrop 2000% larger than Earth raindrop.
Ain’t that where thanos from
All this video explains is how Titan’s atmosphere works. You’re welcome for saving you fifteen minutes.
What life ? The universe is hell… earth is a place in hell
