Active weather region spotted for first time on a faraway moon

Partially cloudy with the possibility of methane? Astronomers with the Institute of Space Telescope Sciences say they have seen evidence of active climatic patterns on the largest moon in Saturn, Titan, who help shape the theories of natural satellite.

Using NASA James Webb space telescope and Keck II telescope in Hawaii in Hawaii, they said they could discern cloud formations on methane bodies and ethane gases the northern hemisphere of the moon.

The discovery is remarkable because the above observations only suggested that the meteorological processes occurred on their southern hemisphere.

Images captured by the technology observed clouds above the medium to high latitudes of the north, where the summer season was underway.

“Titan is the only other place in our solar system that has the climate like the Earth, in the sense that it has clouds and rains on a surface,” said Conor Nixon or the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, in AT at.

According to NASA, Titan has a dense atmosphere based on nitrogen and apparently has an active climate cycle similar to the only one of the earth instead of raining water, it is raining Methano.

Due to its unique atmosphere, it is believed that temperatures move around -290 degrees Fahrenheit, but despite the frigid environment, evaporation, cloud formation and rain.

The northern hemisphere is the home of most Titan lakes and is similar in structure to the great lakes of North America, and the lakes are fed by liquid rain of methane.

Unlike the Earth, Titan’s troposphere extends much higher, reaching approximately 27 miles above the surface, compared to the troposphere of the 7 miles high of the earth, according to researchers of the Institute of Space Telescope Sciences.

However, Saturn has about 274 moons, more than any other planet in the solar system, but it is unknown if any of the natural satellites exhibits characteristics similar to Titan.

The use of NASA James Webb space telescope and Keck II telescope on the ground in Hawaii researchers said they could discern cloud formations on methane and ethane gas bodies.

Approximately time, methane in Titan’s atmosphere has been exhausted, and without a source of joy, the moon could lose its atmosphere, similar to Mars’s destination.

“In Titan, methane is a consumable. It is possible that it becomes constantly reupping and leaving the bark and the interior of a few billions of years. If not, anyway it will have gone and Titan will become a Nixon mostly without air.”

NASA plans to launch a rotor brand to perform Titan surveillance, but does not anticipate a launch before 2028, with an arrival around 2034.
