Scientists are particularly interested in Saturn's moon Titan because it's one of the few known moons with its own dense atmosphere. Titan's atmosphere is also thought to be very similar to what Earth's atmosphere was a long time ago. By learning about Titan, we'll learn about our own planet.

Hot Earths: Formation, Detection and Structure
Thursday May 31, 2007 - Honolulu, Hawaii
The session will focus on Earth-mass (terrestrial) planets in orbits close to their parent stars, objects that could be detected by the COROT and Kepler missions and ground-based high-precision radial velocity surveys. Topics will include how such planets might form, how physically and chemically diverse they might be, how their properties might be determined, and whether any of them might be able to support recognizable life.
