Titan, one of Saturn’s moons, is the only other body in the solar system besides Earth with liquid oceans on its surface (Jupiter’s moon Europa has twice as much water as Earth, but it’s all locked away under solid ice). Earlier this year, NASA began developing a submarine to explore the depths in the depths of space.
Titan’s seas are slightly different to Earth’s in that instead of being made-up of liquid water, they are liquid methane. As if that’s not a terrifying enough prospect, we went and named the sea we’re to explore ‘Kraken Mare’, which roughly translates to ‘sea of the enormous, terrifying underwater beast’.
