Everybody knows the greatest water ocean is on Europa. I mean, how much cooler than can you get?-- an ocean underneath a huge sheet of ice that surrounds one of Jupiter's moons hundreds of millions of miles from the earth. Makes ice fishing just a LITTLE bit more difficult, doesn't it, with the low gravity and lack of atmosphere factors?
But that's just the coolest water ocean. The methane ocean on Titan has got to be the coolest shit in the universe. Because Titan's atmospheric pressure (mostly nitrogen, stronger than the earth's) and temperature are close to the triple point of methane, it's suspected that Titan has methane snow, rain and vapor. But because of the smog-like conditions of the atmosphere, no one has ever seen Titan's surface. But we've got a probe heading there-- we'll see what a methane-drinking octopus looks like yet!
