Not a big fan of Amazon and Bezos (it appears it's his #nova and #titan engines drive #gannet (based on the lack of information on site)
HOWEVER, On of the difficulty in provision of timely #humanitarian is accurate preliminary, speedy assessment.
IMHO Innovative and desirable service...slightly spoiled by AWS Bedrock infrastructure.
But humanitarian orgs are used to making deals with the devil to provide aid...
... so overall progress. 👍

Saturn’s moon Titan just threw scientists a curveball. A reanalysis of Cassini data shows Titan doesn’t flex enough under Saturn’s gravity to support a global subsurface ocean. Instead, it may have a thick ice shell with pockets of liquid water trapped inside. Titan remains a top astrobiology target, with liquid hydrocarbon seas and a dense atmosphere.

Saturn’s moon Titan may not have a buried ocean as long suspected, new study suggests.
@AssociatedPress reports: "Titan instead may hold deep layers of ice and slush more akin to Earth’s polar seas, with pockets of melted water where life could possibly survive and even thrive."

In ancient Greek mythology, the Titans were a group of former gods defeated and deposed by the Olympian gods led by Zeus. In defeat they were banished to Tartarus, an abyss of torment and suffering. Some of the more well-known Titans, like Atlas and Prometheus, were condemned to eternal torture.
Odd to choose that group in particular as a source of names.
