Channel: APOD Podcast
Date: 2021-01-09

In today's image, we see Titan, the large moon of Saturn. This is the only moon in the solar system with a significant atmosphere. In fact, it has a thicker atmosphere than Earth. It also has rivers and lakes of liquid methane on its surface making it the only object other than Earth with a rain-cycle.
