The video, incredible in its beauty and significance, was provided by the NASA space agency. In just one minute, the Cassini spacecraft observes the largest of Saturn's moons, Titan, for an 11-hour period. Filming was carried out on October 29 and 30, 2016.
The video shows how cloud clusters move along the surface and then disappear. The most interesting of these are the long cloud strips that lie between 49 and 55 degrees north latitude. While the general area of cloud activity repeats itself over the observation time, individual bands appear, develop, and then disappear. These clouds move at a speed of 7 to 10 meters per second.
Also in the video, some small clouds can be seen over the small lake area towards the north, including a bright cloud between the Neagh Lacus and Punga Mare areas that fades during the video. This small group of clouds moves at a speed of 1 to 2 meters per second.
Such observations allow scientists to observe the dynamics of clouds as they evolve, move along the surface and disappear afterwards.
