New Images of Titan From JWST and Keck Telescopes Reveal a Rare Observation - Universe Today By Nancy_A
JWST imaged Titan on November 4. Ahow Sebastien Rodriguez from the Universite Paris Cité was the first to see the new images when the data arrived to Earth, and Rodriguez alerted the rest of the team in an email:
The team quickly called in colleagues at the Keck Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawai’i to perform follow-up observations. A series of Keck images taken about 30 and 54 hours after JWST’s showed similar clouds — likely the same ones — but slightly displaced because of the moon’s rotation relative to Earth.
Evolution of clouds on Titan over 30 hours between Nov. 4 and Nov. 6, as seen by near-infrared cameras on the James Webb Space Telescope and Keck Telescope. Titan’s trailing hemisphere seen here is rotating from left to right as seen from Earth and the sun. Cloud A appears to be rotating into view, while Cloud B appears to be either dissipating, or moving behind Titan’s limb. Clouds are not long-lasting on Titan or Earth, so those seen on Nov. 4 may not be the same as those seen on Nov. 6.
