If we ever run out of natural gas, Titan has plenty of methane. The tanker run is a bit looong, though.

It's big, it's gaseous, it's single band.

Nice picture. Thanks! Maybe we'll see a shot more in focus in the coming days.

Nah. Once the Weyland-Yutani corporation gets the Nostromo-class tankers up and running, it won't matter... the tranist times might be a bit long, but the shipping rates will be high enough that you won't notice.

This detailed image taken by the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera on September 12, 2004, shows the planet Saturn's southern hemisphere of clouds, storms and waves in the planet's many latitudinal bands and was taken through a filter where methane gas has strong absorption.  Differences in cloud height are not resolvable; the impression of parallel ridges and troughs is an optical illusion brought about by the alternating light and dark bands. Saturn's rings were overexposed in this long duration exposure and appear quite bright. The Cassini spacecraft will flyby Saturn's moon Titan on October 26. (B/W ONLY, NO SALES)  REUTERS/JPL/NASA

"The tanker run is a bit looong, though."

Well, how about building a pipeline then?
