There are probably life-building blocks on the Titan moon.

  There are probably life-building blocks on the Titan moon.

"Researchers propose that vesicles could form in Titan’s hydrocarbon lakes, hinting at a new pathway for life’s precursors. This expands the possibilities for where life might originate in the solar system." (ScitechDaily, NASA Unveils Possible Building Blocks of Life on Saturn’s Moon Titan)


Life's building block is not life. Those things are amino acids and other chemical compounds that the DNA and cells require for making their protein shells and other structures. They don’t mean life as we know it. 

There are possible life-building blocks on Saturn’s giant moon Titan. So, does that mean that there is life on that moon? A life-building block doesn’t necessarily mean that there are any kind of life forms. That means that there are chemical components required for the DNA molecule assembly process. So those building blocks are chemical compounds, not life in the form as we know it. Titan is too cold for similar active lifeforms that live on Earth. 

Chemical reactions on that moon are extremely slow. And an interesting question is this: are those chemical compounds formed on Titan, or are some kind of meteorites bringing them to that moon? The origin of those chemical compounds is also an interesting thing. 

We must realize one thing. Life can be far different from what we even expect. Another question is this: should we call the self-replicating molecules “life”?

That is one of the most interesting questions in the world of philosophy. The chemical compounds, like amino acids, are quite common things in the universe. And in the Kuiper Belt, in an absolutely freezing area, those chemical compounds can exist almost forever. The is a small possibility that some kind of cells or DNA, or RNA  can travel between stars and retain their ability to infect cells. In those cases, the cosmic ice bite will transport those cosmic viruses between the stars. At 0K, the chemical environment is very stable. 

The thing that determines if those kinds of molecules can remain in its form is the case that pushed it and the cosmic ice bite out from its solar system. The nova or supernova eruption causes a very high-level radiation burst. That can smash planets into pieces. But there is a small possibility that the DNA or RNA can keep its form during that radiation burst. So, can life travel between solar systems in the cosmic ice bite? That kind of ice bite is not yet found.

The sound of the devil's sandstorm was the first time recorded on Mars.




"Dust devils on Mars are small whirlwinds of dust that occur when the sun heats the surface of the planet, causing the air to rise and form a vortex. These dust devils can reach heights of up to several kilometers and have winds that can reach speeds of up to 60 km/h. Dust devils are common in many areas of Mars and can be found in both the northern and southern hemispheres". (ScitechDaily.com/Scientists Obtain First-Ever Sound Recording of Dust Devils on Mars)


The devil's sandstorms form in a weak gravitational field when the wind rises sand flowing over the planet's surface. The devil's sandstorms create very high-voltage electricity when small sand bites gall against each other. That thing can cause danger for probes. Another name for devil's sandstorms is the dust devil. 


There are different sizes of dust devils. Some of them are small tornadoes. Researching those things researchers can find. What is the dust devil's role in giant sandstorms that can cover almost the entire Mars planet? There is the possibility that the dust devils are acting like giant cylinders that put the atmosphere move between them. 


 Those giant sandstorms are covering almost half of planet Mars. The thing that makes those things dangerous is the friction of the dry sand. That thing forms static electricity. The duration of the sand devil determines how much static electricity it can create. If a long-term sand tornado hits the probe it can cause electric shock. But luckily the planet Mars' atmosphere is not very thick. 





But on Saturn's Titan moon, the devil's sandstorms are more dangerous. There the weak gravitation along with the thick atmosphere is making it possible that the sandstorms can exists longer. 


The devil's sandstorms are possible on Mars and Saturn's Titan where the atmosphere is thicker than on Mars. On Titan, the devil's sandstorms are more dangerous than on Mars. The reason for that is the higher gas pressure makes it possible that the speed of those sand bites can rise higher than on Mars. And those sandstorms are acting like abrasive blasts or large groups of fast-flying bullets. 


When we think about weak gravitation and life forms. We must realize one thing. The friction on the weak gravitation field is lower than in the strong gravitational field.


That means the speed of the gas is higher on those planets. And that thing causes friction where the gas can turn quite hot. There is also the possibility that devil's sandstorms are making that planet unable to host highly advanced civilizations because the sand tornados are causing so powerful electromagnetic phenomena. That electronics will jam on that planet.

Icy moons and lifeforms. 


Under the icy surface of icy moons is the ocean. But there are very high-speed flows in those oceans. 


The tidal forces are keeping those oceans in Europa and Enceladus. The planet's gravitation forms the flow of those icy moons' oceans. And that flow makes the friction and heat in oceans. 


The hypothetical lifeforms can use this temperature as an energy source. But those flows can also deny the forming of life forms. 


And if those flows in the deep oceans of the icy moons are high enough, that can destroy the complicated protein molecules that are necessary for life. Or those flows can make it impossible that cells can make chains. And those lifeforms are extremely primitive.

Could there have been UFOs in Earth's orbit in the 1950s?

Aligned, Multiple-Transient Events in the First Palomar Sky Survey could be artificial objects. Or. They could also be some light reflection...
