For some of us, the shock has still never quite settled in. That distant ball of ice Pluto is still tightly woven in our minds as a true planet and even has its very own place within our planetary moniker: “My Very Excellent Mother Just Sent Us Nine Pizzas”.

Two years ago, a viscous cloud was seen over Titan’s south pole, and planetary scientists mistakenly made the assumption that the anomaly was ordinary gases floating 300 km above Titan’s surface. However, a new study reveals that the cloud is actually composed of hydrogen cyanide ice, and it’s leading researchers to think that the pole is much colder than they once thought.
