See the bands? Kinda like the familiar gas and ice giants? This is...

Titan.

Planetary Photojournal: Banded Moon

This Cassini spacecraft view of Titan shows banding in the atmosphere of the moon's northern hemisphere.

Like the planet Venus, Titan's atmosphere rotates faster than its surface, a characteristic called "super rotation."
