NASA finds Titan's lakes may be creating vesicles with primitive cell walls
NASA research has shown that cell-like compartments called vesicles could form naturally in the lakes of Saturn's moon Titan. Titan is the only world apart from Earth that is known to have liquid on its surface. However, Titan's lakes and seas are not filled with water. Instead, they contain liquid hydrocarbons like ethane and methane. On Earth, liquid water is thought to have been essential for the origin of life as we know it. Many astrobiologists have wondered whether Titan's liquids could
