Is Titan inhabited? ;-)

[t00fri]

I guess some of you have noticed that intriguing radar image from Titan and its discussion on the Cassini mission page. The apparent "arrow"-feature is indeed striking.



I think there is little doubt that Titan is inhabited by some strange intelligence and the arrow is nothing but their flying saucer landing area...

Ahem,...

Ahem, I woldn't go as far as to have a lading spot for flying saucers (that would have to be a lot more visible) but as regarding life in titan, there are some who thing that some form of life may exist, even if it isn't life as we know it. They could for instance drink methane instead of water and live off quimosintesis (instead of photosintesis). As for intellengence, it would be rather hard because chemichal realctions at such low temperatures happen at very slow rathes and their metabolism (and therefore evolutionary pace) would be rather slow. but if they have developed a nervoos system similar to ours, smaller brains could think faster due to the superconductive properties of materials at such temperatures....

Boy, getting stuck in traffic does give you time to think on wild stuff.

You know what that image actually reminds me of? The chevrons on Miranda, or even Ganymede, albeit without the topography.
