1 April 2011 - It's Raining On Titan
Titan, Saturn's largest moon, has been experiencing rainstorms of methane near its equator. The rains were visible from space as a dark band around the moon. Ironically, this deluge occurred at the same time as Earth's April showers and the geographical distribution of precipitation is similar to that of Earth. Methane on Titan behaves almost like water does on Earth, with lakes evaporating to form clouds which release methane rain.
