Hot-off-the-press from NASA #astro #planetsci 🔭! Evidence for convective methane clouds in the northern lake region of
Saturn’s moon Titan by #JWST and #KeckObservatory!
Saturn’s moon Titan by #JWST and #KeckObservatory!
NEW: Saturn’s moon Titan has weather similar to Earth’s, but driven by methane evaporation and condensation. Astronomers have found evidence for clouds bubbling up over Titan’s northern hemisphere for the first time, using #NASAWebb and Keck observatory: webbtelescope.pub/3GofvQ1 🔭 🧪

For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to an unexpected home, hinting that the origins of these mysterious cosmic events might be more diverse than previously thought. How diverse? Learn more 👉https://www.keckobservatory.org/fbr/

Astronomers at #KeckObservatory have identified a #whitedwarf star that's still actively tearing apart its ancient planetary system. This white dwarf hosts the oldest and most heavy metal-rich debris disk ever observed around a hydrogen-rich white dwarf. 🌌🔭
