Burning question: If you brought a supply of oxygen to Titan, released it, and struck a match, would there be a combustion cascade that sets the whole planet on fire?

no but good theory tho but if titans atmosphere was actually oxygen that you could breath in then yeah you could do it or at least set the lakes in fire maybe not the whole MOON

[@WilliamFord972]

I actually wondered the exact same thing the other day. The theory was that we could combust all of that methane into water and carbon dioxide. After discussing with some others, we would need an infeasibly large amount of oxygen. We could, in theory, release oxygen into Titan’s atmosphere by drilling up the metal oxide minerals in its crust, but this could take centuries.

Sorry to nitpick, but the views of Saturn in the sky are not possible, because a) Titan's orbital inclination is 0.3 degrees, meaning the rings would be pretty much edge-on all the time and b) Titan's atmospheric soup is so thick, you would probably not be able to see the Sun, let alone Saturn, ever.

[@Theodorus5]

[@bjornl.8447]

@@Theodorus5 To quote the Wikipedia article on Titan's atmosphere: "The Huygens probe was unable to detect the direction of the Sun during its descent, and although it was able to take images from the surface, the Huygens team likened the process to "taking pictures of an asphalt parking lot at dusk"." It also mentions that the atmosphere is so thick, it reaches up more than 1000km high, and that humans could fly just by attaching wing-like devices to their arms and flapping them.

1. It's Saturn, not Jupiter, but I'm sure that was just a brainfart :P 2. That view is completely unrealistic - first of all, Titan's orbital inclination is 0.3 degrees, meaning it would be edge-on with Saturn's rings.

[@jasontoddman7265]

All fossil fuels are made from hydrocarbons. However, not all hydrocarbons come from fossil fuels. You can have ethane and methane come from non-biological sources. Just as diamonds (pure carbon) are not necessarily formed from such fossil fuels either. Therefore, there are probably no sub-zero dinosaurs responsible for forming those hydrocarbon lakes on Titan.

Hi @Kosmo_off . I love your videos. I'm just watching this and wanted to point out that at 3:43 you say hydrogen, but the image shows nitrogen. But more importantly, at 4:13 you say "dissolved organic matter", but organic specifically refers to an amalgamation of that which was (or is) a living organism (hence organic). I think the distinction is significant in this context.

[@cragrock]

Pretty sure "dissolved organic matter" is a shortened meaning of "dissolved matter that results from organic chemistry" but I'm just as pretty sure you knew that already (if you didn't, use Google, the distinction is right there)

[@cragrock]

And "more inportantly" if you have taken the time to post, then you know full well that titan is 95% nitrogen in the atmosphere. It's good to be right, but it's more right to be good. (And not a smart ass. Anyone can make a mistake)

@@cragrock I'd say the first part he brought up was valid just because it truly is an audio-to-video error that they would probably like to be aware of and could probably fix quite easily. Second part, though...definitely unnecessary nitpicking.
