Den fikk senere navnet Titan, oppkalt etter en kjempe i de gamle greske mytene.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Titan var virkelig en gigant \u2013 den nest st\u00f8rste m\u00e5nen i solsystemet. Men selv i dag er den en verden full av mysterier. Overflaten er skjult under et teppe av oransje dis.<\/p>\n<p>Forskere vet at den tette atmosf\u00e6ren hovedsakelig best\u00e5r av nitrogen, akkurat som p\u00e5 Jorden. Den inneholder ogs\u00e5 metan, gassen vi bruker som brensel i v\u00e5re hjem og fabrikker.<\/p>\n<p>Men overflatetemperaturen er \u2013180 \u00b0C, kaldt nok til at isen blir hard som stein. Det er sannsynligvis for kaldt til at det kan finnes liv der, selv om det kanskje finnes et hav dypt nede i undergrunnen.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"2105\" data-credit=\"ESA-D.
