Rainstorms on Titan may be assembling one of life’s earliest structures without liquid water: a 2025 NASA-backed study proposes that splashes from its methane-and-ethane lakes create coated droplets which acquire a second molecular layer as they fall back, forming the same kind of bilayer compartments that preceded Earth’s first cells.
A lake on Titan does not need to behave like a warm terrestrial pond for its surface to…
