James Webb Observes Clouds On Saturn’s Moon Titan

The James Webb Space Telescope is set to revolutionize our understanding of the universe, and one of its key targets will be the clouds on Saturn’s moon, Titan. Titan is one of the most exciting worlds in our solar system. NASA’s all powerful James Webb along with the Keck telescope in Hawaii have together captured Saturn’s moon in infrared.

On top of this, scientists were even able to track and study the clouds on Titan, aiming to map the distribution of different gasses in its atmosphere. So how was James Webb able to make these observations? Why is the observation of Titan so important? And what answers were we looking for? In this video, we will talk about all of that and more.

Titan is known for its thick atmosphere and its methane-based hydrological cycle, with liquid methane and ethane rain falling from the sky and filling lakes and rivers on the moon’s surface. Titan is the only moon in the solar system with a thick atmosphere, as well as the only other planetary body with rivers, lakes, and seas.
