@@Dr.Asif.Rasool probably not. The atmosphere is denser than on earth and it's much further away from the sun. Both lower the intensity of the sunlight, making tan pretty much impossible. And I also don't think there are any other light sources around, which could cause that

Back when I was a kid and really intrigued by anything that has anything to do with space (especially our solar system), there was no such amazing content easily available to watch and listen either to learn something new or purely for entertainment. I'm so grateful for creators like Astrum that provide us with so much interesting content and will support them any way I can whenever I can.

[@TooLameToDie]

I used to sit in the library for hours pouring over books about space (both local and what might lay beyond). I miss the quiet sounds of shuffling paper and the smell of the books. The internet is amazing and the amount of knowledge at hand is astounding but it will never replace those quiet afternoons spent sitting in a corner reading the books that sparked my imagination.

[@jlondon1441]

@@TooLameToDie there is something to the illustrations in those books. From the simple line drawings and the black and white photos of more technical books to the brightly colored pages of the more commercial pieces . The rounded, bubble like designs with the spinning artificial gravity, the Saturn series rockets and the use of simple 2d diagrams that would demonstrate entry, exit and intercept equations. Even being a kid in the 80’s and 90’s, with the more realistic science books that switched to showing more colored pictures of space and less illustrations, when I think of being a kid enjoying space, I go back to those older versions. And now I’m thinking of old Issac Asimov collection covers.

[@occamsrayzor]

Some people seem to be having trouble with the phrase 'fossil fuels'. The chemistry of Titan, largely methane based, are not fossilised life, but neither are fossil fuels on Earth, generally. Coal is fossilised plant matter, but oil is not actually a fossil substance. In most cases the term 'fossil fuel' simply means that it is already existing, having been created by processes taking millions of years.

[@garywheeler7039]

That is a controversial supposition.

[@Baleur]

Thats not really true though.... It is true that 99.999% of oil is NOT consisting of "dead dinosaur meat". But most of the oil IS in fact ancient, billion year accumulation deposits of mainly sea bacteria and algae, that have been drifting to the seabed upon death, then graduall over hundreds of millions to billions of years, have been compressed and decomposed into what we call oil. The reason for this is that you need an absolute "FUCKTON" (technical term) of biomass to compress into enough oil to be noticeable. Even all the dinosaurs / fossils that have existed wont make up even a percent of enough biomass to account for just the crude oil on earth. But the bacteria since 2 billion years back, does. So you're right in some ways, but completely wrong saying its not life, at least on earth. So wether or not the organic compounds on Titan is due to ancient / current life, who knows.

[@LeoStaley]

I'm still confused. I thought fossil fuel exclusively referred to biomass that had been compressed over very long periods. Fossil fuel comes from formerly living things. This is the definition everywhere I can find. What definition of fossil fuel would Alex be using which would include the non-biological hydrocarbons on Titan?

[@occamsrayzor]

@@Baleur Yes, you're correct - in an effort to explain the difference of why Titan's methane is not likely to be a sign of any kind of life I oversimplified too much. Cyanobacteria from around 2.7 billion years ago are the most likely candidate for the existence of crude oil, but not Titan's methane.

[@garywheeler7039]

@@LeoStaley Right. But there is an alternative theory that much of the oil and gas is abiotic, that is not produced by living things, but from some geologic process that is not clear. Its a bit of a fringe theory though.

I want to wrap up warm, and have an oxygen supply, so I can get on a custom-made boat and sail across the hydrocarbon seas and down streams and rivers with low gravity and a dense atmosphere, allowing me to glide at times when I go too fast over any waves . . .

They also claim it will get in the way of practicing our culture but it won’t... it’s 6 acres or 0.001 of the mountain. These people claim to speak for all Hawaiians and it’s not how all locals and native Hawaiians feel. They also claim it’s a illegal build because Hawaii they think Hawaii it not a real state. Astronomy puts over 160 million dollars a year into our states economy and gives high skill jobs. Tmt also plans to pay a million dollars a year in rent that goes to mountain conservation and office of Hawaiian Affairs, also put millions a year into our local school system. The protesters end goal is to have all observatories removed from the mountain by 2033 and that would cripple the astronomy world in the northern hemisphere, and really hurt my home and the next generation.

[@moviemaker2011z]

@@kakela2883 well, not wanting to be political so please dont take this the wrong way, but in todays time people are protesting everything because they know they can get away with any illegal crimes during these protests. If what youre saying is true then they clearly have no reason to protest this site. But people are also protesting the Keystone pipeline that will connect Canada and the U.S where we get millions of gallons of oil for free from Canada. It makes no sense because this oil gain could drop the price of gas by over 30% but because a certain individual wants it now its apparently bad despite the good it would do. I dont see a problem with building giant telescopes honestly with the amount of amazing discoveries in recent years so it makes no sense as to why they would protest it. Maybe they think their logic is valid but that still doesnt condon their illegal actions such as blocking the road. The police should have forced them off the area by now.
