Pasadena, CA. (AHN)-- The Cassini space probe of NASA has discovered overwhelming evidence that a vast underground ocean in Titan, Saturn's largest moon, exists. Experts said that the moon could be hosting alien life because of the organic-rich bed of water underneath.

Using the probe's radar, space experts identified the locations of 50 never-before seen surface features on the moon and discovered that they moved from their expected spots by up to 19 miles, which may mean that the surface crust of the moon is separated from its core by an underground ocean mixed with ammonia.

One of U.K.'s finest scientist, Professor John Zarnecki of the Open University at Milton Keynes, theorized that the moon, with atmosphere 1.5 denser than the Earth's, has an abundance of "organic chemicals" which may allow life to survive.

Believing that the moon may contain in deep-freeze more evidence to prove the existence of alien life, Professor Zarnecki hopes that more missions will be launched to Titan.
