Hi All,

Today the Cassini Imaging Team released an amazing image of a swirling cloud mass forming over the Titans South pole.

Have attached a link. There is also a time lapse animation of the cloud over 16 days.

Hi Trevor,

Thanks for the link and I hope you have been keeping well.

That is fascinating. So in theory, one could be at a deep southern latitude on Titan, face east,
throw a paper plane into the wind and around nine hours or so later, it might come
back around to hit one in the back of the head.
