FIELD NOTE:
Titan yellow is a compound with formula C28H19N5Na2O6S4. It is a triazene dye used as a stain and fluorescent indicator in microscopy.
Cyclopropenylidene is what's known as a cyclic or “closed-loop” molecule similar to benzene, and for the record, scientists have known benzene exists on Titan since 2003. Cyclic molecules are a vital piece of organic chemistry and might even be precursors to life.
The red image shows that Titan also glows at night, which initially surprised scientists. ... This is because the two glows, one from methane (green) and carbon monoxide (red) mix together to form yellow in this multi-color composite. Titan's surface is indicated by the circle.
Titan also has a presence of organic molecules that contain carbon and hydrogen, and that often include oxygen and other elements similar to what is found in Earth's atmosphere and that are essential for life.
