No, that’s not a blurry shot of Earth — it’s Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. 🪐 From 1.5 million kilometers away, JWST spotted clouds drifting above Titan’s thick methane-rich atmosphere — right over Kraken Mare, its largest known sea of liquid methane. Days later, Hawaii’s Keck Observatory confirmed those clouds were moving and changing shape, revealing active weather on this alien world. Titan is the only moon in the solar system with a thick atmospher

It seems there's no other place in the universe with a dense atmosphere, mountains, sand dunes, plains, lakes, rivers and oceans except the planet Earth. But it turns out there's actually a place much like the Earth in our solar system that has a complex weather cycle, landscapes carved by liquid, and volcanic activity. It may even resemble the Earth in its earliest stages, and some scientists think it might be better to colonize it first instead of Mars. #molecule #titan #strange #mars #moon #s
