NASA Identifies Ice Cloud Above Cruising Altitude on Titan

[knocker]

NASA scientists have identified an unexpected high-altitude methane ice cloud on Saturn's moon Titan that is similar to exotic clouds found far above Earth's poles.

 

This lofty cloud, imaged by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, was part of the winter cap of condensation over Titan's north pole. Now, eight years after spotting this mysterious bit of atmospheric fluff, researchers have determined that it contains methane ice, which produces a much denser cloud than the ethane ice previously identified there.

Love Titan, definitely think Man will be on the ground at some point.

 

Interestingly i did read that Titan has all the elements required for DNA and RNA so entirely possible there's life in Titan's methane oceans.

Yes extremely complex and a very interesting climate.
