Doctors Ricardo Hueso and Agustín Sánchez Lavega from the Planetary Sciences Group of the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU), have put forward an explanation in Nature magazine for the clouds and dry beds of Titan which are, in their opinion, generated by giant storms of methane. The satellite of Saturn would thus have a "methane cycle," probably similar to the Earth's water cycle.
