When
3:30 p.m., Sept. 23, 2008
Where
Kuiper Space Sciences Building 308
Professor Jonathan Lunine (LPL) is the scheduled speaker.
Cassini Orbiter and Huygens lander data have provided a wealth of evidence for an active cycle of methane and its sister molecule, ethane, in gaseous and liquid form on Saturn’s moon Titan. I will describe some modelling associated with the way the cycle works. It has some similarities to Earth’s, but differs in the presence of two fully soluble working fluid and the absence of a global ocean.
