Make sure your dog isn't in the room when you play that sound file

About the report that there was no argon. I beleive they said there was no primordial argon, that is argon captured when Titan was formed. The argon that is present is from the decay of potassium. They can tell this because it is a different isotope than the argon formed by nuclear reactions inside stars.  The source of the argon and how much of it there is helps them determine how volcanically active Titan has been or at what temperature it formed. This could help explain why there is methane on titan and not on Jupiter's moons.

Iapetus keeps getting weirder, not only is one side dark and the other bright but the dark side looks like it has a seam where it was put together while the bright side is full of fractrues like it is coming apart.

The fractures are easier to see if you download the image and rotate it 90 degrees couterclockwise so the curved horizon is at the top.
