Planet Saturn is at the center of an extremely important discovery, one that could even completely change what we knew about this cosmic body, but also about the moons that are near it now. More precisely, just as at the beginning of September when some researchers boasted about the discovery of a molecule that could support life on Venus, now we have a similar statement for the moon Titan near the planet Saturn.
Planet Saturn it cannot support life because it does not have any molecules capable of such a thing in its atmosphere, but on the moon Titan it seems that there are molecules that suggest the fact that there could be life forms there. We are talking about a molecule that represents a combination of hydrogen and oxygen, it being called cyclopropenylidene, in English, and being something that was recently discovered near the planet Saturn, so the Cassini spacecraft will be sent to the Titan moon for new investigations.
Planet Saturn: INCREDIBLE NASA announcement that BLOCKED Mankind
Planet Saturn it could be the first in the universe to have a moon on which life forms could be discovered, if the preliminary analyzes of the researchers prove to be true, and not false as in the case of the planet Venus. NASA intends to send a spacecraft called Dragonfly to the moon Titan near the planet Saturn, and its main purpose will be to confirm, or deny, the presence of life there, no matter what molecules it is.
"When I realized I was looking at cyclopropenylidene, my first thought was, 'Well, this is really unexpected. Titan is unique in our solar system. We think of Titan as a real-life laboratory where we can see chemistry similar to that of ancient Earth when life was taking hold here."
Planet Saturn the moon Titan has a perfect "candidate" for supporting life, and this is because it has underground oceans full of water, the surface being dominated by liquid methane, so the only chances of discovering something are underground. The discovery of this molecule does not confirm the existence of life on Titan, near the planet Saturn, but it is a starting point for scientists who want to discover whether or not there is life there at this moment.
Planet Saturn it has not yet been explored beyond its atmosphere by any spacecraft, and that is because its dense atmosphere destroyed the Cassini spacecraft when it completed its mission, and will probably destroy any other that will be sent there.
