„We expected more symmetry between the southern and northern summer,“ said Elizabeth („Zibi“) Turtle of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab and the Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) team that captured the image. „In fact, atmospheric models predicted summer clouds over the northern latitudes several years ago. So, the fact that they still hadn‘t appeared before the end of the mission is telling us something interesting about Titan‘s methane cycle and weather.“

„Titan is a fascinating place that really teases us with some of its mysteries,“ said Turtle.
