thing and the habits they live have caused species to evolve and adapted to their environments. A minuscule amount of this diversity will be explored by taking a closer look at Thaumoctopus mimicus, the mimic octopus, and Amorphophallus titanum, the titan arum. The first animal, the mimic octopus, has acquired the unique adaption of being able to impersonate characteristic of other species as a mechanism of self defense. The mimic octopus’ full systematic classification is Animalia Mollusca Cephalopoda
Each of Saturn’s moons is unique and different from the rest of them. A result from their differences would be their size, shape, color, and atmosphere. The first of one Saturn’s moons to be discovered was Titan. Titan was discovered by Christiaan Huygens in 1655 (Saturn: Moons). Titan is the second largest moon in our solar system, being slightly larger than Mercury, and because of this, it has an affect on the near-by moons orbits around Saturn. Its atmosphere consists of thick nitrogen clouds

The Tennessee Titans The Titans provide a good example of how teams can change the perceptions that have built around them over the years. In the case of the Titans, the change was effected by moving to a new state, changing the team name, replacing personnel and replacing the coaching staff. The Titans hardly have the same team at

the planet is from the sun. Titan is the largest of all Saturn’s moons. The second largest moon, after Ganymede, in our solar system is Titan. Saturn was called Cronus the god of agriculture, sky, and time. Cronus was actually a titan, but back then titans were worshipped the same way gods were. Cronus became the god of sky by overthrowing his father. He was the youngest titan and is also referred to as Cronos, Kronos, or Saturn.

Titan: Climate and Atmosphere Titan, otherwise known as Saturn VI, is a very unique moon. 50% larger and 80% more massive than earth’s lone moon and larger even (but 40% less massive) than the planet Mercury, Titan is the second largest moon in our solar system after Jupiter’s Ganymede. Titan has 1/7th the gravity of earth and is tidally locked to Saturn, with identical orbital and rotational periods of approximately 16 earth days. Apart from its size, Titan’s uniqueness is twofold – it is the only

plot - a bit of background is in order. Prometheus was a god from the old order, the Titans, who had now all been overthrown by a group of young upstarts, the Olympians (all except for Prometheus, that is). Rather than go down in honor, this half-god Prometheus, in order to avoid further violence, chose to desert the Olympian forces. In fact, he was instrumental in Zeus' usurpation of the throne from the old Titan king Chronus. In the new order, Zeus stood as chief god. Now one of Zeus' first objectives

Saturn Saturn is one of the most interesting planets in the solar system. It is the sixth planet in the solar system, and is most famous for its stunning array of rings. It is a very easy planet to pick out in the sky because it is one of the brightest lights in the shy. It also has a very faint greenish color that makes it stand out from the rest of the objects in the sky (“Astronomy for Kids”).

Our knowledge gained of Titan has drastically improved since the early 1980s when Voyager flew past it. Titan is Saturn’s largest moon and the second largest moon of our solar system. It has a diameter estimated roughly 40% of Earth’s moon (Titan’s Radius: 2576, Moon’s Radius: 1737) and is 80% more massive (Titan’s Mass: 1.35 x 10^23 kg, Moon’s Mass: 7.35 x 10^22 kg. Titan has a atmospheric surface pressure 50% more than of Earth’s. In addition to that, Titan is the only moon to have a dense atmosphere
TITAN Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the second largest observed satellite in the galaxy, being second only to Ganymede yet larger than Mercury [1]. It is the only Satellite in the solar system to have a significant atmosphere that contains more than just traces of elements. It is of interest to astronomers to see how an atmosphere can be formed and how abundances of certain compounds can appear without biological activity. [2] Titan may be suitable for certain types of biology and is analogous
