  • Saturn's largest moon could suit human settlement--if people can keep the lights on. Thankfully, Titan may have several energy sources that fit the bill. Titan is remarkably Earth-like: a thick atmosphere protects its surface from radiation and it is the only other place in the solar system with liquid on its surface. Humans could live under the yellow haze of the moon's skies by using its resources to power their lives, according to Amanda Hendrix of the Planetary Science Institute and Yuk Yung at the California Institute of Technology.
