Well, summer has officially come to Earth’s northern hemisphere.

Meh. It’s been Summer in the north of Saturn’s largest moon since May 24th, 2017. To wit:

 Orbiting the gas giant, Saturn’s moon Titan experiences the Saturnian seasons that are about 7 Earth-years long. Larger than inner planet Mercury, Titan was captured in this Cassini spacecraft image about two weeks after its northern summer began. The near-infrared view finds bright methane clouds drifting through Titan’s dense, hazy atmosphere as seen from a distance of about 507,000 kilometers. Below the clouds, dark hydrocarbon lakes sprawl near its fully illuminated north pole.

Last Friday.

Evocative (and some existential) scenes of Summer 2019 in Bray, County Wicklow.

Sun-soaked, spiritual – and actual – home of Broadsheet (and who would blame us?).

Better than Brighton.

Come visit.
