Larger than Mercury and Pluto, Titan would be a perfectly respectable planet if it were orbiting the sun instead of Saturn. Its dense atmosphere is made of organic materials like methane and ethane, strikingly similar to our own atmosphere before life emerged. Since Titan's surface temperature approaches -300ºF, the moon almost certainly does not sustain life, but studying it can give scientists a peek at a sort of cryopreserved version of Earth long...
...DRESS IN LAYERS The greatest danger is hypothermia, a condition in which the body's core temperature drops from 98.6ºF to below 96ºF. Sports doctors recommend that you wear an inner layer made of a material, such as polypropylene, that wicks away moisture so that your perspiration doesn't chill your body. (Don't use cotton, which retains moisture against the skin.) Choose something like fleece or wool for your middle, insulating layer, and make sure your outer layer protects against the wind...
