Imagine an alien world where hydrocarbons reign (or ‘rain’) instead of water. More than mere speculation, such a place is believed to exist in our solar system. This world has been named Titan as it is by far the largest of Saturn’s 31 moons. Titan has been a long time curiosity to astronomers and now, finally, we are set to conduct some significant up-close explorations.

Here's to a thick, gooey muck on the surface of Titan! (One of these days I've got to go to the La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles, by the way.)

Arthur Clarke wrote a Titan-based novel called Imperial Earth. As I recall, he named one of the fictional places on Titan "Loch Hellbrew."
