It surprises many with its resemblance to the earth! James Webb’s images are amazing

Titan, the only place in the universe that we know so far has seas and clouds, looks like Earth with its greenish-blue tones. But Titan is a little different from Earth. Because Titan’s seas, rivers and lakes are not made of water like on Earth. These consist of methane and ethane.

Webb’s study described 2 clouds in Titan’s northern hemisphere.

Thanks to previous observations of Titan, the clouds had long been predicted to appear. Analysis by the Keck Telescope, a land-based observatory in Hawaii, helped investigate how clouds move or change shape.
