There is a person by the name ofLeah Crane.
There are clouds on Titan.
The team includes NASA, CSA, and theSTScI.
Clouds are visible in the sky of the largest moon in the solar system. The only world other than Earth that has liquid oceans on its surface is called Titan.
On November 4th, the left image was taken. There are two white clouds near the top of the image. The time when clouds were expected to form most easily was during the summertime in the northern hemisphere. The seasonal clouds are confirmed by these observations.
In order to find out if the clouds were moving or changing shape, the team reached out to the researchers at the Keck Observatory. On the right is the image from Keck.
Imke de Pater at the University of California, Berkeley said there were clouds at the same positions, looking like they had changed in shape.
The only moon in the solar system with a thick atmosphere is called Titan. Scientists will be able to figure out why the moon's south pole looks so bright from additional observations coming down from the JWST in 2023.
It is a prime location to hunt for life because of its thick atmosphere and liquid river and seas.
