"We've Got a New Mystery on Our Hands": Scientists Stumped by Unexplained Motion in Titan's Atmosphere

[SWBTATTReg]

2. Aliens!!

No, not really. More than likely, it's some workings of the atmosphere that we're unaware of. Maybe some repetitive cycle of the methane/ethane lakes / oceans on a certain cycle, due to heat/gravity from Saturn, perhaps at the peak of the rotation of Titan away from Saturn, some of the material on Titan gets pulled towards Saturn and then releases as Titan pulls away from Saturn. Or, this could be a whole new motion by these materials which we are generally unfamiliar w/ on a planetary scale. Or maybe its a story of +'s and -'s (minuses) acting on a planetary scale that we're unaware of here on Earth (we know on Earth these exchanges happen, but why, etc.).

Fascinating!
