Arrow shaped cloud on Titan's upper sufrace
The image was enhance in false colour to emphasize the arrow
shaped cloud. NASA image.
The moving finger writes.....
The clouds are gathering the sky is becoming dark there is an ominous
cloud forming in the sky above in the shape of an arrow.
The arrow shaped cloud was spotted onone of Saturn'slargest moon Titan
Well it sounds a bit dramatic.Earth has a tame weather pattern when compare to storms on our larger planets.

The Cassini space craft has taken image of one of Saturn’s moon Titan.
The image shows a massive storm front moving across Titan’s atmosphere.
Titan's storm front is massive almost the size of Texas.
The clouds are formed by the rotation of the moon.The process is called planetary-scale atmospheric waves affect. The clouds have a resonance pattern.
These clouds initiate the ringing so- to –speak and other clouds join in response to the vibrations.
It all sound like a orchestra musical session.All this vibration in the atmosphere leads to intense precipitation.As much as 30 times Titan’s average rainfall.
Much of intense rain is a major factor in shaping the surface of Titan.
Titan has a thick nitrogen rich atmosphere and experiences rain
consisting of natural methane gas.In some ways Titans is much like
Earth Titan is the only other rocky body to have rain.
Like Earth Titan’s atmosphere is rich in molecular nitrogen.Titan’s atmosphere has a high water content. Although Titan is relatively
frozen the lower reaches of the atmosphere.
At lower levels Methane is thermodynamically active in the lower atmosphere,and behaves much like water vapour on Earth.

When Earth was first formed it had large amounts of methane
and very little oxygen.
Methane was the main factor in keeping our planet “warm” and not in a perpetually frozen state like most of the moons orbiting our larger planets.
Which begs the question
Did Earth originate from one of the gas giants?
Perhaps,I have theory that it did,but the theory needs further research something that I will be looking into in the future.
