Titan,Secret Sex Society (2018) Saturn's largest moon, captures the imagination.
The distant world plays host to lakes of liquid methane and ethane that look like they could be a nice spot for an alien yachting expedition, dunes of hydrocarbons, and clouds that sometimes rain methane down onto the surface of the world, feeding its lakes.
Long story short, Titan is everything you could wish for in an alien world, and new photos taken by the Saturn-exploring Cassini spacecraft put that on stark display.

Titan is actually thought to be one of the best places in the solar system to hunt for alien life. Scientists think it's possible that Titan actually has a huge subsurface ocean beneath its crust which might be perfect for microbes to thrive.

During this ring dive orbit, Cassini also took some images of the huge planet and its rings looking moody in black and white.

Mission controllers working with Cassini decided to force it to fall into Saturn's atmosphere in order to protect the planet's moons like Titan and Enceladus, which also seems to have a subsurface ocean, from contamination.
