Its very e xistence came as a surprise Gerard Kuiper when he first detected it in 1944. Since then various studies\, most famously the Cassini-Huygens mission\, have worked to characterize this atmosphere - its formation\ , physical properties\, and chemical composition. These studies have r evealed several anomalies that have yet to be solved\, such as the det ached haze layers\, a mysterious over abundance of molecular hydrogen\ , and an even more confounding downward flow of molecular hydrogen tow ards its surface. I’ll be discussing some of the channels I’m purs uing to try to explain these anomalies\, and what it can indicate if n one of them are correct.
