- sorae – like a red star & earth?Webb Space Telescope Takes Latest Image of Saturn’s Moon Titan
This is the article that sorae introduced on December 7, 2022 “Saturn’s moon Titan, photographed by the James Webb Space Telescope“ofpseudocolor imageis.
There are two celestial bodies with a red celestial body and a shade like the earth, but both are Saturn’s satellite ‘Titan’ taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.
Since the Webb Space Telescope mainly observes infrared rays that cannot be detected by the human eye,Colored according to infrared wavelengthIt has been.
The red Titan on the left captures the wavelengths sensitive to the lower atmosphere, showing two clouds in the northern hemisphere.
The Earth-like Titan on the right is a composite of data acquired at multiple wavelengths. Through thick atmospheric haze, you can see Titan’s largest lake, the Kraken Mare, the high albedo terrain (bright areas) of Adiri, and the dark dunes of Belet. The characteristic topography is reflected.
In addition, for reasons such as “thick atmosphere”, “volcanic activity”, and “liquid exists on the surface in a stable state” on Titan”life may exist” is expected。
