This is very exciting, organic
materials have been spotted above Titan's surface.
Scientists believe that Titan's atmosphere may be a laboratory for studying
the organic chemistry that preceded life and provided the building blocks for
life on Earth. The role of the upper atmosphere in this organic "factory"
of hydrocarbons is very intriguing to scientists, especially given the large
number of different hydrocarbons detected by Cassini during the flyby.
