Saturn's moon Titan : from 4.5 billion years ago to the present : an insight into the workings and exploration of the most Earth-like world in the outer solar system
Lorenz, Ralph, 1969-2020
Books
Titan is a moon of Saturn, most recently explored by the Cassini/Huygens probes. Titan is of huge interest to scientists, as the conditions in its atmosphere and on its surface bears a striking similarity to those of early Earth. It is thought that there is a realistic possibility that forms of primitive life could develop - or may already have developed - on the surface or in the oceans of Titan. As a result, there are plans to send further probes to Titan in order to further explore the conditions on its surface and in its oceans. The theme of the book is how Titan works 'as a planet', with an emphasis on illustrating the features and processes of Titan - where the conditions and materials can be exotic - with familiar analogues from the Earth or other planets.
