On Saturn’s giant moon Titan, it is so cold that water is frozen as hard as granite. And yet there is a complete liquid cycle of methane and ethane. Scientists wonder whether there could also be life.

shame. I expect it will be a lovely blue sky by the time I go out with a nice amount of snow on the ground. It appears to never rain here. Snow yes, but not rain. The rest of the time its lovely blue, but quite cold, skies.
