SPACE — New research suggests that Saturn's moon Titan may contain the key elements of life. <br /> <br />Using data from NASA's Cassini satellite, one study found that the Titan's upper atmosphere is home to carbon chain anions, reported the Smithsonian Mag. These serve as a stepping stone to more labyrinthine molecules that can develop life, reported Mic. <br /> <br />Separately another study in found vinyl cyanide in Titan's atmosphere. Scientists speculate that this forms the the outer wall of a cell and protects the biochemistry that takes place within, reported Universe Today. <br /> <br />Titan's atmosphere is some of the most complex observed by astronomers and these studies further bolster the idea the moon maybe home to organic life. <br /> <br />The studies were published was published last month in The Astrophysical Journal Letters and Science Advances.
