Researchers at Washington State University have constructed a replica of the oceans of Titan to test a NASA submarine for an eventual mission to Saturn's largest moon. The scientists replicated the conditions of Titan's oceans, including temperatures of -300 degree Fahrenheit and a liquid content of methane and ethane rather than water. They were even able to reproduce the atmospheric cycle predicted to exist on Titan, which features ethane-methane snow and rain. This feature of Titan draws...
