...capital. We have come over dirt roads, passing women and children walking barefoot with water jugs, wood for fuel, and other bundles. The midmorning temperature is sweltering. In this subsistence maize-growing region of a poor, landlocked country in southern Africa, families cling to life on an unforgiving terrain. This year has been a lot more difficult than usual because the rains have failed. The crops are withering in the fields that we pass...

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA/ESA/NASA/EPA Saturn's moon Titan has been shrouded in smog for eons. The HUYGENS PROBE last week pierced the veil, parachuting in for a landing. Titan's orange, rubbly terrain is like Mars', though the -178?C temperatures mean the rocks are probably made of ice. Other images showed what could be liquid ethane and methane, resembling a flash-frozen Earth before life emerged. Data still to come may shed light on how all biology came to be. - By Jeffrey Kluger...
Saturn's moon Titan has been socked in by smog for eons. The Huygens space probe last week pierced the veil, parachuting in for a landing. Titan's orange, rubbly terrain calls to mind Mars, though the -290??F temperatures mean the rocks are probably made of ice. Other images revealed what could be rivers and lakes filled with liquid ethane and methane. The chemistry resembles that of a flash-frozen Earth before life emerged. Data still to come may shed light on how all biology came to be. --By Jeffrey Kluger
