Catskul writes "Telescopes atop Mauna Kea have recorded for the first time clouds floating over Saturn's biggest moon. Astronomers used telescopes at the Keck and Gemini observatories atop the dormant volcano on the Big Island to photograph methane clouds near the south pole of the moon Titan."
"The cloud observations are based on views from atop Mauna Kea in late 2001 and earlier this year. Titan, one of 30 moons orbiting Saturday, is a little less than half the size of Earth, and much larger than Earth's moon."
Saturday? Man, somebody needs a better proofreader.

No, it's quite true. Titan was indeed one of 30 moons orbiting Saturday. It was also orbiting on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

I guess there are a lot of cows farting on Titan.
Ok fine. That was stupid.
