This is the truth - Saturns smoggy moon Titan has hundreds of times more natural gas and other liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth, scientists said today. The hydrocarbons rain from the sky on the miserable moon, collecting in vast deposits that form lakes and dunes. This much was known. But now the stuff has been quantified using observations from NASAs Cassini spacecraft. Titan is just covered in carbon-bearing material — its a giant factory of organic chemicals, although you can Google (Titan Has More Oil Than Earth) to see this article - It is a full of gas to liquid pools Instead of water, liquid hydrocarbons in the form of methane and ethane are present on the moons surface, and tholins probably make up its dunes. The term tholins was coined by Carl Sagan in 1979 to describe the complex organic molecules at the heart of prebiotic chemistry. - Miss leading - The point is Titan has more natural gas fuels than Earth has fossilized oil.
