Saturn’s moon Titan has Earth-like weather powered by methane. New observations reveal rising clouds and rare molecules.

    After a week, you won’t even notice the off smell.

      Methane is practically odorless, and certainly doesn’t smell like farts. Ethyl mercaptan is added to natural gas explicitly for leak detection purposes.

    When I see Titan mentioned, I think of that scene in Gattaca where Ethan Hawke blows smoke into a snifter.

      usually an odorant is added to methane so people can semll gas leaks. methane is odorless.
