Recreated Particles of Titan's Haze Could Help Us Understand How Life Began on Earth MATT WILLIAMS, UNIVERSE TODAY 28 FEBRUARY 2021 Beyond Earth, the general scientific consensus is that the best place to search for evidence of extraterrestrial life is Mars. However, it is by no means the only place. Aside from the many extrasolar planets that have been designated as "potentially-habitable," there are plenty of other candidates right here in our Solar System.
These include the many icy satellites that are thought to have interior oceans that could harbor life. Among them is Titan, Saturn's largest moon that has all kinds of organic chemistry taking place between its atmosphere and surface. For some time, scientists have suspected that the study of Titan's atmosphere could yield vital clues to the early stages of the evolution of life on Earth.
