The hydrocarbon lakes of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, may host chemical mechanisms capable of forming structures resembling primitive cells. This discovery, resulting from NASA research,

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, appears to have the right ingredients and conditions for a certain kind of tiny bubble to form that has the potential to lead to alien life.

For decades, scientists believed water was the essential cradle for life. But new research suggests life’s building blocks might be present in one of the most unlikely places: Titan. This frigid world where methane rains from the sky has lakes of liquid hydrocarbons and temperatures that rarely climb above -180°C.
