When dawn comes on Titan it's nearly 300 degrees below zero with a steady drizzle. And the drizzle is methane — an explosive gas on Earth that is chilled into a liquid on that moon of Saturn. They reported that the drizzle seems to dissipate after what would be about 10:30 a.m. Titan time, if the day there were divided into 24 hours. However, because Titan takes 16 Earth days to rotate once, the drizzle continues for about three Earth days after sunrise.
So, um, when can us Earthlings move there? Sounds great!
