At least that's what the current hypothesis is right now.


my source linked to at the bottom of the post
 
Two new papers based on data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft scrutinize the complex chemical activity on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan. While non-biological chemistry offers one possible explanation, some scientists believe these chemical signatures bolster the argument for a primitive, exotic form of life or precursor to life on Titan's surface. According to one theory put forth by astrobiologists, the signatures fulfill two important conditions necessary for a hypothesized "methane-based life."



So what do you all think about this? I for one think that it's pretty awesome, though I'm not surprised on some levels. If there was going to be extraterrestrial life in our system it was going to be on Titan.

Source.

Another source, for good measure.

Uh, didn't they already pretty much confirm that there at least WAS some primitive life on Mars, it was just long-dead?

Yeah, but that was probably thousands of years ago, they think that this stuff is actually alive.

*edit*

People sometimes overlook Europa. In my opinion, the possibility of life there is purely astounding, given the chances that there might even be multicellular life forms there, deep beneah miles of ice.
Jury's still out on Lake Vostok, though. Chances are, if they find life there, they'll find life on Europa.
Oh yeah, and it's really hard to distinguish between someone from Europe and something from Europa. Both end up being "Europeans".
