The probe's Permittivity, Waves and Altimetry (PWA) sensor detected an extremely low frequency (ELF) radio wave during Huygens' descent. If this signal is natural and not accidentally generated by the instrument, studying how ELF waves resonate on Titan could shed light on any oceans that may exist below Titan's surface and how deep they are. Researchers have already ruled out electrical interference from the instrument itself.

"Titan lacks oceans, but someday Earth will, too, as the sun increases in brightness, boiling the oceans away and leaving Earth a desert planet."

cheerful little soul...must be a liberal.
