yeah..funny..
I would think that Saturns moon titan would be destroyed in the aftershock...
Have you ever filled an empty coke can with gas out of a bic lighter then lit the lighter under the opening? you get a little explosion that toasts the hairs off your hand....
Substitute the can for saturns atmosphere. the bic lighter gas for saturns gas. and the flame for the so called "nuclear explosion" and your synged hands for Titan.
Even if it were possible, I think you'll find it wouldnt simply ignite but stay at its current size. as it ignites it would grow.
From what I recall reading in a few books, Jupiter is of the correct chemical makeup to be a star, but is not hot enough to ignite.... I'll re-read and post up a quote later... However it refers to Jupiter as a failed star.
Again, if it were to ignite, I think we'd all be pretty heavily tanned in the aftermath... Ie. Burnt to a crisp......
