摘要: Voyager discovered nine simple organic molecules in the atmosphere of Titan. Complex solids, called tholins, produced by irradiation simulated Titanian are consistent with measured properties Titan from ultraviolet to microwave frequencies, and likely main constituents observed red aerosols. The tholins contain many otganic building blocks central life on Earth. At least 100 m possibly kms thickness complex organics have been during age solar system, may exist today as submarine deposits beneath an extensive ocean hydrocarbons.
