GET AN EXTRA STURDY UMBRELLA: Scientists studying data from a European space probe say Titan, Saturn's largest moon, apparently is lashed regularly by rain made of liquid methane that erodes the surface.

Saturn's largest moon apparently is lashed regularly by rain made of liquid methane, forming pools, cutting river beds and eroding rocks in much the same way that forces have shaped the Earth, scientists said Friday.

A new test that produced methane under conditions mimicking the deep interiors of Earth and Mars lends support to an idea that the gas could theoretically support unseen colonies of microbes on both worlds. And the study hints at the possibility of a potential vast supply of petroleum products.

Boffins find lots of static build up Scientists have discovered that the surface of the moon can accumulate a huge charge of static electricity - up to 4,500 V has been detected so far. The scientists, writing in Geophysics Research Letters number 34, say that their findings could have significant implications for those planning to colonise the rocky globe.â¦

Disused Texas oil field reservoirs may become storage areas for greenhouse gases emitted by burning fossil fuels. Known as carbon sequestration, the technology captures the gas that can linger in the atmosphere for decades.
