Certain areas of saturn's moon Titan reflect very little radar. A major hypothesis as to the cause of this phenomenon is lakes of liquid methane dotting the moon's surface. Titan's strange chemical atmosphere is thought to resemble that of the Earth in its early stages prior to the evolution of life; though the temperature is extremely cold there are thought to be crystal boulders of water strewn about the moon's surface, which has the consistency of wet clay.
