"Hey #ChatGPT make me a figure of Titan's atmospheric chemistry". Hmmm. #AI still has some way to go before putting humans out this thinking business.

Hot-off-the-press from NASA #astro #planetsci 🔭! Evidence for convective methane clouds in the northern lake region of
Saturn’s moon Titan by #JWST and #KeckObservatory!
NEW: Saturn’s moon Titan has weather similar to Earth’s, but driven by methane evaporation and condensation. Astronomers have found evidence for clouds bubbling up over Titan’s northern hemisphere for the first time, using #NASAWebb and Keck observatory: webbtelescope.pub/3GofvQ1 🔭 🧪

Nixon et al. present JWST & Keck II observations of Titan, detecting CH3 and non-LTE emission of CO & CO2. Imaging revealed clouds in Titan’s northern hemisphere at multiple epochs, with some appearing to evolve in altitude. https://bit.ly/4j51554 / https://bit.ly/4j0jznm
The atmosphere of Titan in late northern summer from JWST and Keck observations - Nature Astronomy
JWST and Keck II spectral observations of Saturn’s moon Titan reveal methyl (CH3) as well as non-local thermodynamic equilibrium emission bands of CO and CO2. Imaging shows clouds in Titan’s northern hemisphere at several epochs, with some appearing to evolve in altitude.

Our work on Titan cloud mapping using machine lesrning was the subject of a feature story by NVIDIA today: blogs.nvidia.com/blog/ai-maps...
AI Maps Titan’s Methane Clouds in Record Time
Using NVIDIA GPUs, the researchers trained a deep learning model to analyze years of Cassini data in seconds.
