The Evolution of Titan's Cold South Polar Cloud
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 9, 16 May 2025.Abstract Early during Titan's southern fall, images captured by Cassini's Imaging Science Subsystem revealed the formation of a large cloud above Titan's south pole. Subsequent analysis of Cassini data revealed the cloud contained HCN ice, but the cloud's evolution has not been examined.
