EXCERPT: Complex life is only known to exist on Earth, but scientists aren’t ruling out other locations in the Solar System. Our understanding of life’s evolution could be advanced by studying the Saturnian moon Titan, whose hydrocarbon chemistry is considered a precursor to a living system. Researchers have tried to replicate a substance in Titan’s atmosphere called tholins, which are organic aerosols created from solar radiation hitting the methane and nitrogen atmosphere....
