Debate is currently ongoing as to where NASA should next send a probe in its hunt for evidence of life in the solar system. One possibility is Saturn's moon Titan, a world recently visited by the Cassini-Huygens probe. A second possibility is Jupiter's moon Europa, an icy world thought to hide a vast ocean of liquid water under the surface that could be home to alien life.
An ongoing debate among scientists looking for life beyond Earth asks whether NASA's next big adventure to the outer regions of the solar system should be to Saturn's moon Titan or Jupiter's Europa. Both are difficult places to get to, and both have become alluring targets in the quest to learn whether Earth alone supports life."
