Strange clouds are forming on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. NASA's Cassini probe captured new imagery showing the moon's northern hemisphere and its changing seasons.
Titan is now entering summer. Cassini conducted a survey across the northern polar region of the moon, revealing incredible atmospheric conditions and dynamic cloud formations.
The series of images reveal how methane clouds formed a small band that is moving yet slowly fading along the northern hemisphere of Titan.
The images, taken between Oct. 29 and 30, have been compiled into a time-lapse video. Cassini was able to take a photo every 20 minutes in a span of 11 hours, tracking Saturn moon's seasonal strange clouds.
Apart from these dynamic, strange clouds, Titan is also one of the places in our solar system that possess liquid oceans and lakes on its surface. However, these liquid bodies are not made of water like those on Earth.
Instead of liquid water on Saturn's moon, its oceans and lakes are filled with liquid methane and ethane. On Earth, methane and ethane can also be found, but in gas form in our atmosphere.
Titan is also so cold, reaching minus 292 degrees which suggest that these frigid temperatures can change the molecular structures and states of gasses that are otherwise seen differently on Earth.
