NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captures images of unusual cloud formation of Saturn’s biggest moon, Titan

The James Webb Space Telescope has made a groundbreaking observation of methane clouds in Titan's northern hemisphere, a region previously known to be cloud-free. This discovery, confirmed by the Keck Observatory, provides valuable insights into Titan's complex climate patterns and methane cycle. Furthermore, the telescope detected methyl radicals, crucial for understanding the moon's atmospheric chemistry and potential for prebiotic conditions.
