The Clouds of Titan's Lakes Studied

The Saturn moon Titan has clouds that form at the edge of its several lakes at the north pole with the main layer sitting about 25 to 30 miles above the moon's surface according to a report on the findings today published by National Geographic. The clouds may also help scientists determine whether liquid methane or liquid ethane makes up Titan's lakes. [Videos 1, 2, 3 and more from Wired.]
