These are formed, we think, by organic materials falling down from the atmosphere and being moved around by wind. So this tells us that winds have been very important shaping the surface of Titan.” ...
The organic molecules in Titan’s atmosphere bind together in clumps before freezing and falling onto the moon’s surface. Plains and dark dunes of organic material have been spotted across ...
Scientists ran computer simulations that revealed how just a tiny fraction of Titan's organic material could be gobbled up by microbes. They'd need a steady stream of glycine from the surface ...
The probe glided through Titan ... materials in a laboratory, Zarnecki’s team discerned that the probe probably landed on something with a hard skin but a mushy interior. His team likened the ...
sampling and measuring the compositions of Titan’s organic surface materials to characterize the habitability of Titan’s environment and investigate the progression of prebiotic chemistry.

Titan's ocean has a volume ... The route for this organic material to reach the ocean is via comet impacts. Such impacts can melt surface ice, creating a pool of liquid water filled with organic ...
