i found out that jupitars moon tyten my supploe life and that maybe you do not have to have water or ground to live.There is ice frozen water on tytwn that has been frozen for billions of years

PAPATHANAS,ANTHONY said...

A Seltzer moon is a moon that has an ocean made out of carbon. The life on titan I would think it would be bacteria. We should study titan more because it may have life and also it has many difretnt gases around it so we could discover what they are. Mars is so small beause the mater and gases on the planet it was also formed that way.

Sean Laake said...

It refers the fact that there is an ocean like carbonaned water.Yay, a planet filled with 7UP that would be a 3 year old's paradise. If life was found on Titan, its goin' to be bacteria or heck for all we know it could be a parasite! We should study Titan more because its one of the few places with an ocean. For all we know there cold be rock caves and we could shelter in them in the future, plus it represents what earth was like during the Ice Age.
Its a lot lighter, but its still kind of a mystery, There may be a gap in its dust formation so it can't pack more material, either that or Saturn came crashing into mars and go a hold of the loose material. But many things are yet STILL a mystery.

kaleb.quinlan said...

I found out that jupiter in the first 10,000,000,000 years of our solar system came barreling toward mars but saturn "caught" jupiter and after years of going back and forth it made a gap in mars

anonymous said...

on one of saturns moons a carbinated ocean, the carbination causes geysers to erupt like shaking a pop can then opening it.
It is an icey moon believed to have a rocky core. When sunlight hits the moon there is a chemical reaction.

PAPATHANAS,ANTHONY said...

I agree with shane it was cool to learn that there mat be another place with life on with out a ocean or ground to live on very cool but it still is pretty far away.

Anonymous said...

i didnt know that there could actually be water on a MOON thats just amazing but the fact that the water is carbonated but also that titan could have new chemicals in it is very cool but i dont think that it is very possible but it was very interesting

Sean Laake said...

Anthony its no big suprise that there would be bacteria. Usually some types thrive in the cold climates. Shane you got like a thousand typing errors and its TITAN not TYTEN or TYTWN.

anonymous said...

Like Sean said like on titan woukld be bactirea i think it is to cold to have any other type of life.
Ethan Merucrio

Evan Triplett said...

thats cool how so many moons can some how contain life.That would be good if other planets can hold water or already have water.Mars is so small because it had nothing around to make its self biger

Sean Laake said...

I thik all that water is from fallen Comets, all they are is fozen Ice balls with a giant trail of dust. Vaive, its still a mystery, the day we know, we would be dead.

Anonymous said...

a seltzer moon is a moon made of carbonation the ocean i think life on moon would be very small and would be very dangerious we should titan more beause we dont know whats under the chemicals we and see it mars is so small because jupiter came bowling straight for mars putting a gap in it

Sean Laake said...

Uhh, Evan? Did you check Goldilocks Planet? We just found another planet to screw up once we are there

oleary stephanie said...

what they meant by a seltzer moon is that this moon has an ocean that is carbonated. there might be life on titan because they have water,it may not be fresh water but if something were to live there im sure it would be somthing that could drink that kind of water. we should study it more to see if we could have people live there and see if its capable too. mars is so small because they think it has a gap somwhere so thats why it cannot get any bigger

Anonymous said...

i agree with sean we should study titan more because its the first moon to supphold life and could lead to definate awnser of yes there is life on titan

batmanstake said...

VELASQUEZ, YAHANZ inside the moon of mars is what they think is water. i never thought they would find any water on any other planet. they also think it's carbonated from the carbon in the atmosphere. they made what was in titans atmosphere on earth and sparked it with radio waves.

Anonymous said...

A Seltzer moon is a moon that has an ocean made out of carbon. I would think it would be cool to find out if there is life on Titan because we would know that were not the only planet with life in our solar system.I think we should study Titan more to see if it has or can contain life. Mars is so small because the matter and gases.

Sean Laake said...

Actually Ethan, there are some certain types of fish that could POSSIBLY survive on that planet, mostly Whales and Krill but hopefully we can repopulate the Whale AND Narwal population. BUT we would need to make space holding tanks.

ciARRa said...

A Seltzer moon is a moon that has an ocean made out of carbon. The life on titan it would have to much bacteria and gasses for ife to live on. and i think We should study titan more because it may have life and it has many difretnt gases around it that people can study. Mars is regularly small beause the mater and gases on the planet.

Kilgore, Sydney said...

The seltzer moon refers to the fact that there is an ocean like carbonaned water. If life was found on Titan that would be very amazing, since they say Titan is frozen. We should study Titan more because they were saying how it might be a frozen snap shot of how earth use to be and how life could be made without water. Mars is smaller because people believe that swirling disks of gas and dust around stars come together to form planets. People think that Mars should be bigger than it is, but scitentist think there was a gap that Mars ran into where there is nothing there so Mars couldn't pack on anymore material.

ciARRa said...

eathin that is true i think it would be to cold to live on it too.

Anonymous said...

I agree with Evan i think its cool that other moons can contain life and i wonder what kind of life.

Kilgore, Sydney said...

I was thinking that too, sean. Could it be like the ice age on earth. If so could it end up being like earth?

Park Deborah said...

A moon that has a ocean but is carbonated is what meant by only Seltzer Moon.If life was found on Titan I would want to meet them. Scientist would probly be studying them and if there is life on Titan I wonder how they live in such a cold planetand how did they get there? We should study Titan more because there could be life on there and that could be out new home.They should find out a way to make the ice melt for water for when and if we move to Titan for a home. Scientist think Mar is so small because there is a gap in the disk,Mars was push to a certain point and then Mars would reach this gap and theres nothing there so it cant pack on more material.

Royer Rachel said...

Seltzer Moon refers to there is a moon that may have ocean of carbonated water.This moon is very icy and the core is rocky.Scientists believe that if there is a ocean of carbonated water is because of the minerals of the rocky core.
I think life would be very bad on Titan because the moon is frozen with icy volcanoes and dunes.I think it would be very dangerous to liVe there because there is a very thick atmosphere of differeent gases and if sunlight hits the atmosphere the sunlight causes many chemical reactions.
We should study Titan more because there are many mysteries to be solved and new ones to be discovered.
Mars is so small because there may be a gap in its dust formation so it can't pack more material, either that or Saturn came crashing into Mars and go a hold of the loose material. But many things are yet still a mystery.

Evan Triplett said...

I agree with kaleb thats pretty crazy that saturn caght jupiter with its gravitational pull.

anonymous said...

Mars is smaller because 10,000,000,000 years in our solar system jupiter hit mars and that is why mars is smaller. If life was foud on titan it would be a perisite or bacteria. Titan should be studyed because it is the only moon with a ocean.

Madison Schnell said...

A Seltzer moon is meant by a moon of saturn they think there is an ocean in the selibus, with ploons of water vapor erupting from the south pole. The ocean is carbonated and the carbanation bubbles would help the water rise to the surface and get to the cracks of the ice and help fill the chambers next to the icee surface, which is actually geizers when they erupt. If life would be found on the moon Titan, I would think about how people would get there in the first place and if people from earth would somehow get to Titan and start a new home and life there if the surface is frozen. I think we should study Titan more because we might be able to start life there and to see how people would be able to live in the freezing cold. Mars is so small because Mars would get pushed to a certain point when the gap is and then there just would not be enough room to grow any more.

Sean Laake said...

In time we will know what the heck life is on other planets. But its still a long way to go. We may have landed the Rover on mars but Landing a Rover on a CARBON MOON?! We would need a whale-like submarine for it to ever get there. It would freeze the joints in seconds!

Sheridan,Megan said...

The seltzer moon is meant by inside the moon of saturn selibus we think there is an ocean because we know that there are ploons of water vapor erupting from the south pole surface. The ocean is carbionated and the carbination would help the water rise to the surface and get through cracks and onto the surface and help fill the chamber next to the icee surface where the geizers erupt. If life would be found on Titan I would instantly wonder how people could live there if it was frozen. We should study Titan more to see if there actually is life and to see how the people would live there because of how cold it is. Mars is so small because mars would get pushed to a certain point where the gap is and then it would just not be there.

Kilgore, Sydney said...

I was wondering that too. Could there be life there since its that cold? MAybe they will find more ife in the future.

Hailey Hoover said...

what they mean by seltzer moon is that they think there might be an ocean in the center of saturns moon. they have reason to believe this becuase they know for a fact that there are ploons shooting out water vaper that erupt from the surface. The ocean in the center of the moon is carbonated. This carbonation helps the water bubble and rise up to the surface and get threw the cracks in the ice, to the chambers where they actually erupt. Without this bubbling the volcanos wouldnt realy erupt. the carbonation came from the core of this ice moon where there are organic carbon compounds inside of rocks. They believe the ocean took in some of the rock and that's what caused the carbonation of the ocean causeing these eruptions.
Titan is Saturn's largest moon and it has a very thick atmosphere made of organic compounds. Scientists believe that when sunlight hits the surface of Titan there might be chemical reactions.If there is any water on Titan it would be frozen. they say that Titan is a frozen snapshot of what the earth was like when it was very very young.
mars is so small because when a planet is formed things gather in a disk in a star and there was a gap in the disk that fromed mars.

batmanstake said...

YAHANZ VELASQUEZ i agree with brendan and also think it would be cool to study titan more. ithink it would be cool so we could find out more about other planets in our atmosphere.

To Sean:
what do you mean by if the planet was filled with 7up it would be a 3years old paradise?what do you think it is to live on Titan since you compared it to Icew Age??

Sheridan,Megan said...

Madison,
I completely agreen with you. I was also thinking how the people could get onto Titan. I was also wondering if we could start life there too.

Madison Schnell said...

Alexandra I agree, it would be really cool to live on another planet! Well another moon actaully, just it would be really cold!

Wall, Alexandra said...

At sean, umh... it would be pretty cool to liver in a place with 7up oceans, would it not?

anonymous said...

in one moon of saturn they think that there is a ocean under its frizen surface. there is a model that says that this ocean is carbinated.the carbination helps the water rise throught the cracks in the ice that might be there. there is a theroy about how the carbon got there, they think that it has a rocky core that has carbon compounds.on saturns largest moon titan there is a really thick atmosphere that has a lot of nitrogen and methane and several other organic compounds. when sunlight hits this atmosphereit causes all kinds of chemical reactions.they say that methane is what water would be on earth. and this proves that we dont need water to have thoes building blocks of life.some think that titan is a frozen snap shot of earth when it was very young.there was a lot of moving around in the early solar system

Wall, Alexandra said...

Shane, tyten is spelled TITAN!

Madison Schnell said...

Rachel I agree, what do you mean Sean?

Sheridan,Megan said...

Rachel,
I think that Mars is so small because of the gap thing too. I also agree that there are many mysterys.

anonymous said...

shane i found too that saturns moon titan can keep life with out water and i think it would be cool to live on titan
Adam Lyons

anonymous said...

It refers the fact that there is an ocean like carbonaned water.Yay, a planet filled with mountain dew that would be mykinda place to live to live. If life was found on Titan, its goin' to be bacteria but no people trust me there. We should study Titan more because its the only place that weknow with an ocean. For all we know there cold be rock caves and we could shelter in them in the future, plus it represents what earth was like during the Ice Age.
Its a lot lighter, but its still kind of a mystery, There may be a gap in its dust formation so it can't pack more material, either that or Saturn came crashing into mars and go a hold of the loose material. But many things are yet STILL a mystery.

Abby Bacher said...

Carbination in the ocean? Sounds a little weird. The carbon in the Earths core, mixed with the soil and made carination near the shore line on the ocean. On Titan, it has a thick layer of methane. It doesn't need water, or anything on there, just the atmosphere. The methane on Titan is like water here on earth. But, if there was really water on Titan, which is Jupiters moon, it would be frozen over to a pulp.

Brady Farmer said...

I figured out Titan has a thick atmosphere of nitrogen.Titan is frozen so if there was water on Titan it would freeze.Mars is a lot lighter than Titan.Jupiter came barreling into the solar system so that is why there is a gap between Mars and Jupiter.

Anonymous said...

what are icy volcanoes? like what do they do?
the sandy dunes make some what of sense.....
inselidous is a moon inside of saturn?
titan has large chemicals that when the sun hits it can cause reactions....... titan has a thick atmosphere that could support life.

this is confusing just listening to it.

Ryan, Marissa said...

The Seltzer Moon is referring to the moon of Saturn that they believe has an ocean on it because there are ploons of water vapor that erupt from the surface. If life was found on Titan, I think that would be interesting and I do believe that there is because of the water vapor and possible ocean. As it stated in the 95 Moons video, I believe if there is life it's all bacteria. Which is still important because life in a whole different place from Earth is still a big thing. Which is why I think we should study Titan more. Mars is so small because of the way it was formed. Just as stars are. It didn't have the right ingredients to make it a larger planet.

Anonymous said...

mars is large because the disk that made mars has a gap in it and its lighter than it really should be.

titan is believed to be in frozen stage of what earth used to be.

anonymous said...

A selter moon is a moon that they think they have an ocean with carbonated water on it. I think the life is most likley bacteria. We should stupdy Titan because if might also have life on it. When the sun light hits the top of this atmosphere, it can triger all kinds of chemical reactions. Mars is small because scitentist think there was a gap that Mars ran into where there is nothing there so Mars could not pack in anymore material than there already is

-Corissa Sturm,(:

anonymous said...

a seltzer moon has a ocean made of carbonated water. life on titan would be really cold i think and with the chemical reaction i think it will be hard and dangerous to live there. but if life is found on titan it will be worth cheacking into and i know that scientists will want to know all ab out them.we should study titan more because it would be worth it if we could live there. plus we might meet new humans or even alins. mars is so small because its pushed into a gap and the gap is so small it can there for not grow anymore.

kelly rogers

Oakes, Ally said...

I learned that a seltzer moon is a moon with a carbonated ocean. I also learned that Jupitar's moon titan is a seltzer planet. The carbon in the ocean on titan is there because, thecore of titan is believed to be made of stone that has some carbon in it tat got in the water billions of years ago.

anonymous said...

And I agree with Sean, how is there life on titan if it is that cold of a climate?

-Corissa Sturm,(:

KAM said...

Titan,the moon of Jupiter, is believed to have an ocean made out of carbon. If life was found on Titan I would think that it would be mostly bacteria.I agree with Sean, we should study Titan more because its one of the few places with an ocean and its the first moon to supphold life.

Brady Farmer said...

At Ethan Mecurio it is bacteria not bactirea.

McGinnis,Ben said...

a seltzer moon is a moon of jupiter which is belived to have a ocen under neath the surface. they think this because they know that water waper eroupts from the surface. it is just like a soda bottle if you shake it up and unscrew the lid it shoots out. i think life on another planet with life would be cool even tho it would be hard to live there i still think it would be awsome. we should study titon more because it may have life there and a ocean. if it can hold life there scientist can go up there and study it more and live there for a day or two. mars is so small because they think it has a gap somwhere so thats why it cannot get any bigger this may of happened by jupitur hitting it at high speed

anonymous said...

i agree with even because i think it cool too that this moon might contain life forms.i think we might be able to sustain life there but it will be so cold.

kelly rogers

Ryan, Marissa said...

*The ocean on Titan is carbonated.

Sydney, I found the same thing about mars. There was no material around it to make the planet bigger. Things like gasses make up stars and the same thing then goes for planets. Mars is an oddly small planet but it's because of it's atmosphere that it was formed as a smaller planet. The space around it didn't contain much extra gasses, and other ingredients to make a planet, to make Mars larger.

valerierenee7 said...

I never thought that the moon could ever have water on it. That is very interesting if the moon has water. I would love to visit the moon now

Brady Farmer said...

At Even Triplett if Jupiter was caught by Saturn's gravitational pull Jupiter would probably crash into Saturn.

I was wondering the same thing Rachel.
To Sean:
what do you mean by if the planet was filled with 7up it would be a 3year old's paradise?

Oakes, Ally said...

I agree with Kelly because I think it would be cool if there were aliens although I think we should focas on saving this planet before we destroy it because if we destroy this planet who says we won't destroy another planet also.

McGinnis,Ben said...

yeah sean the ocen is kinda like 7up that would be good i would love to just drink it. but it would be kinda cold there on titan i would hate to live there. you would have to wear about 20 layers of clothing if not more.

Anonymous said...

i agree with you rachel!
i wouldnt want to live on titan.....it sounds fun to visit like dinsey world or somethin for vacation but not to move and live!

anonymous said...

sean:
well carbonated water is not just like pop plus you cannot drink the water it will be so cold there your whole boby will feel numb so no not a 3 year olds idea of paradise.

kelly rogers

Brady Farmer said...

Uh Sean Lakke I do not think we can go to the goldilocks planet because there is BILLIONS of people in the world and we would probably all die before we get there.

Granger,Hannah said...

Seltzer Moon Is A Moon Made Of Carbonation.That would be so cool if we landed on the moon and you could hear sizzling like a popcan.

anonymous said...

I found out that the reason they call it that a seltzer moon is because there are bubbles in the water that cause geysers, almost like a seltzer bottle being opened and spraying everywhere. they believe that carbon carbonated the water to form bubbles.
We should study Titan more often because there could be life able to form on it, and that there are massive chains of unidentified chemicals on Titan.
Scientists believe that Mars is so small because Jupiter was flying through space, went into the disc that would form Mars, and then Saturn pulled it back out, creating a gap.
Posted by: Sam Tendam

anonymous said...

I found out that the reason why they call it the selzer moon is because the ocean is like carbonaded water. It would be really cool to find life on Titan because if there is water its frozen.I think we should study it more because its bigger than mars and Has more to see.

Brendan I agree with you that there is more to see on Titan than on Mars because there is more to see and might have things hiding.

anonymous said...

i think it is intresting that jupiter has numeros moons and one is named titan and that is the only one that is frozen and made out of frozen methane gas and that bubbles make gesisers erupt and are the ones that fill the chambers

A, Owen said...

the moons name is called inseldes and it kind of sounds like seltzer. It wouldn't suprise me if theyfound life on titan because titan is a little like earth started out with most of the planet coverd in ocean,and so they mite find aquatic life. We mite find out more about titan, and it mite be like earth. They say there was a gap between Jupiter and Mars preventing it from geting bigger.

anonymous said...

Candi Sheehan
A seltzer moon is one of saturns moons that they think has a liqued ocean because gisers of water vaper erupt from the surface of this moon, its carbonated water helpes it rise to the surface and the gisers. the carbonation is caused by the carbon in the moons rocky core.
if life was found on titian i would probably want to learn more about the things living there and how much they were like animals on earth. i would probably want to study the life forms.
we should study titian more because it is making people question it lif came from the water or from the air
mars is so small because when the sun and planets were forming from a spining disk like shape there was a gap in the disk and mars spun into the disk and was unable to gather anymore materials to make the planet bigger

Emily Renee Heckman :) said...

I found out that a moon may have an ocean. I think that it's Jupiter's moon, I don't really remember.
Geizers actually erupt there too!

-Emily Heckman

Emily Renee Heckman :) said...

I just heard that Titan's water may be frozen. I wonder if that's true.

-Emily Heckman

freel,amanda said...

A seltzer Moon, is a moon that orbits and revolves around Saturn. I wouldn't think that would be possible in any way. We, should study titan more because we all are probably thinking if there is any life on titan. I think Mars is sooo small because there is no living thing/ life on Mars!!??. :)

Anonymous said...

It is called the Seltzer moon because the oceans water seems like it's carbonated. If life were found on Titan, no offense to all the scientists in the world, but I probably wouldn't care. I'd probably just say: that's cool. Unless it was like... a bigger form of life. But if it were like a plant or bacteria or something, I wouldn't care. We should study Titan more to see if humans could survive on Titan like we do on Earth. Mars is so small because of the flying disk things.

anonymous said...

that is very intresting that there might be life on tyten even though its been frozensolid for billions of years!

-Dylan Humbert

Emily Renee Heckman :) said...

Maybe if there is life, we can study about them and learn more about the life on other planets...

Emily Renee Heckman :) said...

Commenting on Amanda:
:) I agree with you that Mars is so small. How could it possibly fit life on it? I can't even imagine life on Mars.

anonymous said...

I think it would be cool if our moon was a seltzer moon because our moon would have an ocean or oceans that would contain carbonated water. I think it's interesting that jupiters moon tyten has a frozen ocean it gets me wondering how cold it is on that moon and how long it's been frozen.
Ryan Bussard

Bass,Zoey said...

a selster moon is a sea made out of carbon.the life on titan would probably be germs, or plants. if it was animals or humans, i would be scared because you dont know if there dangerous or not.i think we should study titan more because there might be things on there that we could possibly use. i think mars is so tiny because maybe it was just made like that.

freel,amanda said...

I agree with Candi Sheehan, because, everything she just said is true like mine, but with her blog it's more explainable of the Solar System and the Moons of Mars and Saturn, I think???

anonymous said...

thats very intresting sean i think that we could shelter in a cave in the future if we pallute our world to destruction and who knos maybe satturn did collide with mars and created tyten and i believe that their will always be a mystery when it comes to science escpecially earth science

-Dylan Humbert

Sara said...

Mars size- Lighter, they belive that there might be a gap because Jupitar might have created this gap.
Moon- Like took top off seltzer bottle, coming out of volcanos. Because the bubbles in Ocean.
Titan- Largest moon of Saturn, when light hits top of atmosphere, change reaction happens. Use radio waves to try to spark a reaction found acids, necular bases, This says that life could exist on Titan, no water unless frozen in Titan, You dont need water to create building blocks of life. It is a frozen snap shot of Earth when it was smaller.
I think we should study Titan more because if life is possible there then why shouldn't we study it. It could change the future.

Anonymous said...

@ Hannah Granger: That would be kind of weird! Like when you get close to the water you could hear it bubbling. I wonder if it's possible to go swimming in the water? And it must be pretty cold up there if the water is supposedly frozen.

Sara said...

Shane Kiphart:
Titan is the moon of Saturn, not Jupiter. THe water is all frozen and yes, i always thought that water had to be there for life to exist.

Xavier Frisch said...

it is called a seltzer moon because it has a carbonated ocean like seltzer.
i think that if life were found on titan that maybe we could find a way to get there although the life there is probably microscopic.
we should study titan more because it is one of the few places (other than earth) that is known to man that has some form of an ocean.
some people think that mars is so small because saturn at one point crashed into it picking up loose material.

Duebber, Jenna said...

The seltzer moon refers to the fact that there is an ocean underneath the surface of the moon that is like carbonaned water. I think it would be very amazing if there was life on Titan because the water is frozen and has been frozen for billions of years. I think it would be really cool if life was found on Titan because it would be interesting to find out how life got there and it would be interesting to see how their life compares to ours. We should study Titan more because they were saying how it might be like a frozen snap shot of how earth was like and how life could be without water. People believe that swirling disks of gas and dust around stars come together to form planets. People think that Mars should be 5 to 10 times bigger than it is, scientists think that there is a gap in the disc and when Mars ran into the gap, there's nothing there, and it couldn't have anymore material.

anonymous said...

A seltzer Moon is a moon that has an ocean made out of carbonated water which cand seep into the moon. And when sunlight sunlight hits the moon it can trigger a chemical reation with the carbonated water.

~Charles Freudemann~

anonymous said...

i think its cool that their could be water on the moon, but i wonder how to water is affected by the moon. i wonder what would happen if their was a ocean on a moon

~Daniel O'Hearn~

gorman,kyle said...

Its called a seltzer moon because the ocean water seems carbonated. That would be so cool if we found life on titan. We should study titan more, so we can prove if there is life on it or not. Mars is so small because of the flying disks.

anonymous said...

Emily heakman
the oceans on tytan are frozen and have been frozen for billions of years.
Ryan Bussard

anonymous said...

I think it is very interesting that a moon like Titan can sastain life for humans. And it's interesting that methain on Tatin is water on Earth. They say that Titan now is a more frozen snap-shot of Earth when is was very yong. And it's wierd that scientists and astronots don't know more about space and how it began.
Alex Richmond

Emily Renee Heckman :) said...

Ryan Bussard:

Yes I know that. I just forgot to mention that. Thanks for the reminder though. :)

Duebber, Jenna said...

@ Deborah Park:

I don't think that life just means people. Like if there was life on Titan it could be bacteria, animals or plants. I agree with you when you said They should find out a way to make the ice melt for water so if we move to Titan for a second home we can have water.

gorman,kyle said...

To Anthony: I also agree that it would be cool to discover gases

Kylie Hayes said...

A Seltzer Moon is a carbonated ocean. I think it would be really cool if life was found on Titan. It could help advance the world in so many ways. I think we should study Titan more. If its like sistering plant to Earth then we should learn about it and see what its like, learn how maybe there is a way to live on Titan. Mars is so small because there was a gab in the disc as Mars was being created, This is because Jupiter came barreling into the inner solar system but then got tugged back by the neighboring plant: Saturn, causing that gap. There was a whole lot of moving and shaking in the early solar system.


I agree with Drew, although life on Titan would be cool, we know nothing about the chemicals on the plant therefore its not safe for Human life. Yet another reason we shoudl study Titan in class.

Hutson,Caleb said...

The seltzer moon is a moon that has oceans made of carbon. They are finding life on the moon like bactria. We should learn more about titan because it could have more life than we know on the planet.

freel,amanda said...

I do agree with Anonymous: Ethan Mercurio, it does have carbonated oceans/ waters that can become geysers which can be related to carbonated drinks, such as Coke, Sprite any kind all you do is just shake the 2-liter botle and open the lid and there you go you have a pop geyser. Except, in Space you don't do anything they just shoot out geysers anytime.

keene,carlie said...

i think we should still study titan because its carbonated watercan have life on it. and there may be sometype of life on titan. but this was so cool i love studying the planets.i think its very neat.

I think it is interesting too that it could resemble Earth's ice age. We could learn a lot from that being like a model. It could be like another Earth ice age.

anonymous said...

I agree Ryan it would be cool if we had a sulter moon but every time it would hit the sun there would be a light show. And if there was water on the moon I bet we could live there.

Xavier Frisch said...

@cliffeemma
are you kidding? if there were life on titan that would be a HUUUUUUUGGGGEEEE discovery!
what i mean by that is many life forms evolve from those tiny cells, like humans. at first we were no larger than the period at the end of this sentence.<-
if there were some horrible accident on earth then we could escape to titan.

Fairbanks,Joey said...

It's only a seltzer moon refers to a moon of Sattern that is belived to have life on it. This is belived to have water because it has plooms of water vaper.I think it would be really cool if there was life on the moon. We should study Titan more because it is like a frosen snapshot of what earth looked like when it was very very yung.
Mars is so small because when it was being formed it ran out of stuf to pack onto it.

There is no way that we could live on the moon. It is too cold. Unless you would want to wear a spacesuit everyday. But thst would suck!

A moon with a ocean made of carbon is called a seltzer moon. I think it would be cool to have life on another planet we could study what happeneds on titan because the water was frozen for billions of years.Mars is small because the gases on it also formed it that way.

Bettner,Aaron said...

It means that there is a moon with an ocean with carbonation. I think it would be wierd because usually i think life would be on planets not moons. We would study Titan more to see how life on Titan lives. Scientists think that Mars fell into a gap where nothing could build onto it thats why its so small

Buis,Dylan said...

same sawyer i just found those out too. i also learned that mars is so small it has nothing around it to make it bigger and a selzter moon is a monn with a ocean on it but its made out of carbon!

Ryan Weber said...

I agree with Tonys post. I like his post because i think he was listening for the seltzer thing too. I kind of got stumbled by that that is why I replayed and replayed the podcast.

Dorrington, Madison said...

The fact about the seltzer moon is there is an ocean underneath the surface of the moon. It seems like there is carbonated water. I think it would would be pretty neat if there was life on Titan because maybe it could give us some more information on what lives there and/or what grows there. Mars is so small because there may be a gap in the disc and when Mars went through, there was nothing there. Someone said that Mars is supposed to be 5-10x bigger than it is now.

Giblin, Keegan said...

If life were found on Titan, you know, I woldn't really know what to think. I think we should study it a little bit more just in case. Why is Mars small? How are we supposed to know?

Giblin, Keegan said...

Aaron, when did you hear about Mars falling through a gap?

anonymous said...

Only a celcer moon meens that there s a frozen moon that is supposed to have a frozen ocean under it. even though this moon is frozen the center is made out of celcer rock. the ocean had obsorbedf some of that rock and that made the moon. a celsar moon.

If titan had life on it that would meen that people could live in these onditions. And if something bad was going to happen in so and so million years we would have a place to go. I think that we should keep observing titan so we can learn more about it and to see if poeple can survive there oe day.

Mars is so small because whena planet came into the solar system it had cause mars o stop collecting material from the universe.
Nick aichele

Buis,Dylan said...

it would be werid if we found life on titan because it carbitnated and we should study titan mor ebecause of what we already know is cool but i think if we found more interesting stuff it would be better for our future. mars is so small because it has nothing around it to make it bigger.

Dickerson,Daniel said...

A seltzar moon is a moon with a carbinated river. I think the only life would be bacteria. We should study Titan more because there could be life and an outside shot of inhabiting it, but unlikely. Mars is small because there is belived to be a gap.

Dorrington, Madison said...

At Drew Vaive

I also didn't even think that there could even be any water on a moon.

Jenn Davis said...

Only a Seltzer Moon is ment that there is an ocean there made of carbon. If they found life on Titan would think that if there is life there, that there could be life other places too We should study Titan more because scientists want to see of there is a way to produce life without water. Mars is so small because it can't pack in more material to make it bigger. They also think that Jupiter might of crashed into it and had broken off loose material and was pulled back into place by Saturn.

Freeman Andrew said...

A seltzer moon is a moon, with gysers that shot up like a shook up pop can that you open.I think it would be very could to find out that Titan can sustain life. We should study Titan more because their are gasess that we don't know what they are. Mars is so small because there might be a gap that stops Mars from packing on more dust.

Dickerson,Daniel said...

I agree with Evan that it is cool that moons can contain life.

anonymous said...

I agree with shane how that titan has been frozen for billions of yaers and istill frozen. it must be REALY cold there.

anonymous said...

I found out that Jupitars' moon tyten may have life.They may be human maybe not.Jupitars suface is ice frozen and a spieces can live on it.There may even be water because of the carbonated water, that's like a7UP bottle being a planet.
Andrew Hudson

dace,connor said...

It is called a seltzer moon because they compare the moon to seltzer. That their theory is correct and can suport life. We may be able to live on Titan and we need to study more. It has been hit against astroid after asteriod to create other planets.

cade harvey said...

If life was found on sulavis that would be amazing but what I think if that there is life it would have to be very different than are's. The creaturs would have to be able to survive all the harsh treatments of the guisers and carbanated water. I think it is very neat but that planet is not meant for us. The reason mars is small is because when it was formed the disk that was used had a gap in it. Scince mars did not have any in the middel it made the planet smaller.
Titen should still be studied because there could be life but only for that purpase.

Jenn Davis said...

@ Kate Nortman
I also think at it is confusing to listen to. It is kind of hard to follow because it goes from one idea to another. I think that they could compare things on other planets to what we have here like icy volcanos. They could say what its like or something to relate and so it makes sense.

Ryan Weber said...

As icey volcanoes are on Titan Saturns moon. Ron Cowen tells about how titans ocean is like a seltzer bottle. A seltzer moon is a moon that can explode or create a Geiser. We should study Titan more because it sounds like an intresting planet that gets alot of chemical reactions. Mars is so small because of all the gases wich makes it weigh less it is 5-10 times bigger than it really is.

imushrush said...

What is meant by only a Seltzer Moon?A planet with an ocean made of carbon What would you think if life would be found on Titan? i wouldnt be to suprised but it would probably not the life probably wouldn`t be more advanced then us Why should we study Titan more?, because it might have new rescources and/or new energy source plus we could study how humans started if there was life Why is Mars so small? because there is a small amount of gasses

Sean Laake said...

Well Rachel, I refered to the carbon oceans as 7UP because if you have listened to the interview carefully, it caused carbon bubbles(usually found in 7UP or any other carbonated beverage such as Coke or even Pepsi) to form and makes the carbon lighter than the ice from the fallen comets. During the Ice Age, many of the continents were covered with ice, snow, and sleet, but it also melted yearly, then it came back. On Titan the same priciple applied, thawing and freezing over and over again.

Sean Laake said...

Yes it would be good to have 7UP oceans, BUT it can iterfere with the rain, for all we know, we could bathe in 7UP there! More of lime an unlimited supply of 7UP popcicles. But if we did live Titan, we would need a huge layer of insulation to even be there without freezing to death or frostbite! So basically on an average day, you would see people waddling around in thermal suits with and Oxygen tank strapped on. Plus there would be no diving or even any other water sport beside Canonball jumping. And bouncing, alot of bouncing and Sumo Wrestling. Not a fun place if you're in to other sports.

Sean Laake said...

My theory on how Titan was formed would be that:
1.)The hole in the dust formation from Saturn plowing through could have caused Titan to look like a miniature version of Mars.
2.)Then after eons of being struck by comets Titan had enough and it started to cool down the core, causing it to become a frozen ice ball, you could call it a gigantic comet.Eventually the core started to grow a bit cooler every so often, the core is basically geyser holes just empty space, they probably used to have been lava tubes or just caves that were formed because of impacts.

Sean Laake said...

Brady I didn't say that we were going to move the entire planet. It works like colonies. Close link to Earth, possibly we could use Wormholes to move faster. From Goldilocks we could harvest new plant life, gather new elements, and even advance in technologies. And the 7UP thing, that was to just carry my point across as there being carbon bubbles and there being geysers, just a simple way to be able to get it across, thats all.

coors amber said...

-a seltzer moon is a moon that has an ocean made of carbon
-i would be somewhat excited if life was found on titan and would be intrested to study it because i wonder what kind of life is there and how it lives. like if it is something that can make noises and have body parts like humans or if it is some sort of thing like our plants that grow with water and grow leaves.
-we should study titan more because things happen there that dont happen on earth like when sun hits the top, it creates chemical reactions
-mars is so small because they believe that there is a gap in the disc and the gap gets so big that mars cant take on any more materials. one reason that there is a gap is believed that there was a whole lot of moving in the solar system which may have caused that gap in mars.

coors amber said...

i agree with shane too anthony!!! that is cool and a little okward that there could possibly be another place out there with other ways of life!!! i just wonder if they know about us?!

A Seltzer Moon Has A Ocean Made Out Of Carbon. I Would Be So Happy If We Found More Life On Titan.
Titan We Should Study Cause We Can Learn Bout More Gases. Mars Is Small Cause The Matter It Has Makes It That Size.

anonymous said...

Marissa I agree with you that it would be interesting if there is life on Titan and I do think that there is on Titan because of the water vapors on it.
David Meiners

anonymous said...

Owen, I agree with you on the fact that there might be life on Jupiter's moon, because bacteria, fish, whales and other aquatic animals are capable of living in water. Also, if there is life, it could survive in the carbonated water with various adaptations. Even if there is not life already, we could move life to it.

on the contrary, if there is life on titan that would be a HUUUUGGGGE discovery.
what i mean by that is almost all life at some point was very very small.take a look at people!before we are born were only about the size of the period at the end of the sentence.
so as you can see, even if life on titan is microscopic, that would mean we would be one step closer to living on other worlds.

anonymous said...

One of saturn's moons has a ocean that is believed to have carbonated water in the ocean.This can be called a seltser moon. This is frozen but its core is believed to be rocky. The atmoshere of one the moon that orbits Saturn,(Tyton) is mad up of many chemicals such as etholeen or ethane gas. If sunlight hits the moon there is likely to have a chemical reaction. There most likely is not water on Tyton because it is frozen. If there is water there, it would be frozen.
As said on the podcast, thefe might not need to be pools of water on the land, life may have started in the atmosphere or the sky. Also what has been said is that the methane on Tyton is what is water on earth. Earth may also have looked frozen like Tyton when it was young. It is believed that maybe we don't need water for the building blocks of life. Another mystery is why is mars as small as it is. There might be a gap in it beacause Jupiter may have tumbled in tugging saturn causing a gap on mars. Also young stars have disks around them that includes rock that collides together making a large sphere. this is aTheory why there might be gap in mars or its disk.

Jenna I would completely agree with you that if there is life on Titan or Tyton, it does not just mean peaple it could be plants, animals or bacterea or even small creatures such as insects.

I find it very interesting that a moon could have carbonated water making it like a fizzy pop like sea.

I agree with you Madison, I think we should discuss the topic of Saturn's moon Titan. I would also like to learn more about what life would be like on Titan. It would be different from eart life.

Sean I think your comment how the water could be from frozen astroids is a great possible asumption/theory. Who Knows that could be a possibility.

Hailey Hoover said...

commenting on Micheal Van Schoik.
thats pretty cool that the atmosphere of titan is made of etholeen or ethane gas.life my have started in the sky or atmosphere? that's so awesome! i had no idea that the sky could cause life.

Hailey Hoover said...

commenting on anonymous, ethan mercurio.
the carbination of the ocean causes geysers to erupt like shaking a pop can then opening it. thats a cool way of looking at it ethan!
also, yeah, it probably would be too cold to have any other kind of life other than bacteria.

Hailey Hoover said...

commetning on kylie hayes.
it would be super cool if they found life on titaa. then maybe people from earth would go live there. you're right, that would advance the world in so many different ways. that's so cool! they should study titan more then they could find the life. eventhough the only life that titan could hold is probably bacteria because of its cold weather conditions that would still be awesome.

keisersydney said...

seltzer moons are moons with oceans of carbon, i think the only life on Titan would be bacteria but we have to study it more because it actually has an ocean and thats rare for a place not called earth, and i think the reason why mars is so small is that Saturn crashed into mars or theres a gap in mars's dust formation

George McFarren said...

Scientists think there is an ocean inside the moon of Saturn called Inseladus. They know there are plumes of water vapor that erupt from the moon. This ocean is carbonated. They think the core is rocky and there is carbonation in the rocks and they think there was movement which pulled up some of the carbon from the middle of the moon. When the carbon erupts it is really geisers and the carbon comes throught the ice. I think Inseladus is really cool to learn about.

George McFarren said...

I learned that there can be oceans mad out of carbon and there are gisers on inseladus which errupt with carbon and I think it's really cool that there could be life with ice all over and oceans made out of carbon.

Wall, Alexandra said...

A selzer moon is an ocean like carbonaned water, I think that we should have a selzer moon. If life was found on Titan, it would be really cool! Then we could possibly live on Titan. We should study Titan more because it is known to have an ocean, whhich could possibly mean that animals and ife could be found. However no one has found any other place in space that humans could live, other than our own earth. I think Titan could have useful information, which would make it worth studying, anything would really be worth studying in space, because it would better educate us about topics that we know very little about. We think that Mars is so small because Jupiter crashed into it very long ago.

Wall, Alexandra said...

@ madison, I completely agree with yours! I think it would be so cool if we could live there, but what if there is no oxygen? that could turn out bad!! I also think that we should study it more because there could be possible life.

:) Jaspers, Abby (: said...

I think that life could mabey survive on Titan. If the temperatures are to extreme then probablly not BUT since titan if said to have an ocean who really does know. We have to study it more and stop putting it aside. However we also need to stop putting aside the other planets which are said to have life. Mars is also pretty small and i couldnt imagine life on it only because we are all so used to earths sourondings and places.

Park Deborah said...

@jenna

i never thought of that, all i was thinking about was that there could be something or someone that is somewhat like us humans, not other living things like plants bacteria and etc. But what im wondering now is that if we do move to a different planet what the purpose of that would be. like would the reason be because of global warming or natural disaster and etc.

Wall, Alexandra said...

@ sydney, I think that yours is very well written and I definetly agree that it would be so cool if they found life on Titan!!! it would also be even cooler sice it is still frozen!!

:) Jaspers, Abby (: said...

To Alexandera Wall:
I aggre Titan could have useful information and it would be fun to study. Space is also an important topic because it has more features to it than just one planet.

I saw that Jupiter's moon titan might be able two have life on it if the earth ever ends we should look there for a homeland first!!!! Maybe It's so coolio!!!!

Duebber, Jenna said...

@ Sydney Kilgore:

I never knew a planet could have life either...I mean i get that there could be life on a planet because we live on a planet and it has life but I think it's interesting we are the only PLANET with life. Also, i know it's kind of off topic, but what is Pluto considered now???? I wonder if it could be a moon? Could it maybe have life? Have people examined it well enough? I wonder if other planets have life but we just haven't examined them well enough. I think that if we open our eyes to bigger possibilities what we could find. I think it's interesting in the IMAX movie at space camp how there are billions of galaxies in that one strip. I think we should examine those more. Even if we don't have the resources we should find a way to find out more information. This could open us up to a whole new world.

Reichling,Alex said...

It would be cool to live on Jupitars moon. We could do so much more stuff. The fact that it is frozen means we would be able to iceskate, snow board and ski all year round. If there is life on Titan that would be neat and might mean we could survive on it. i would guess that it would take a long time in order to get to Titan probably more than 10 years.

Reichling,Alex said...

Commenting on Hailey hoovers post. Even if there was just bacteria on Titan doesn't mean we couldn't live there. It only means that bacteria has found a way to addapt and be the first to survive on titan. Who knows there might not just be bacteria that lives on titan maybe there are creatures that live under the ice.

:) Jaspers, Abby (: said...

To Alex Reichling:
If the bacteria is harmful to humans or any other creatures then it will be impossible for us to live there. I doubt it would be that harmful to humans though. And that would be really cool if creatures lived underneight titans ice.

Jennifer20107 said...

Things could be really popping inside Saturn’s moon Enceladus. A fizzy ocean, similar in carbonation to Perrier, may feed the plumes of water vapor, gas and ice that erupt from the south pole of the moon, a new model suggests.
Is it true that Mars will be close to earth in 2018?? Thats what I heard.

Dickerson,Daniel said...

@ Charles Fruedeman:
Yeah it would be really cold. Like, so cold we couldn't survive. And there's no water on the moon either, and if there were, it would probably be frozen over! I bet there is another planet we could live on though. One with water like ours.

Kamilah Williams said...

seltzer moon is the moon of saturn scientist say they think there is an ocean in the selibus with ploons of water vapor erupting from the south pole. The ocean is carbonated and the carbanation bubbles would help the water rise to the surface and help get to the cracks of the ice and help fill the chambers next to the ice surface moon.
if life was on titan it might be bacteria. there is sooo much on titan that i dougt we live on it we might just die on titan for all we know
mars is so small because of the gases in the atmosphere and i think meteroids make it form its shape today

Kamilah Williams said...

i agree with you sidney k. titan is frozen and we should learn more about titan and maybe how it got its name and how it was form

Kamilah Williams said...

i agree with you kelly rogers-anonymous it would be dangreous to live in titan. maybe even walk on titan like it was when the people had difficuly walking on the so they had to jump. thinking about it if we ever did go to the moon do go to the moon do you think we would have to jump to or freeze instnty as soon as we went on titan?

Kamilah Williams said...

walking on the moon sorry

anonymous said...

The seltzer moon has an ocean that is made out of water.If they found life on titan that would be very coolbecause they say the planet is frozen.We should really study titan more because i think we should learn alotmore about this planet to see if there really is life on the planet. mars is smaller
than earth because smaller disks that form planets made mars a smaller planet.

anonymous said...

the reason mars is so small, anthony, is because when the sun and planets were forming from a spinning disk like shape there was a gap in the disk were there was no matter and mars spun into the disk and was unable to gather any materials to make mars larger
