Titan, Saturn's largest moon, captures the imagination.*
The distant world plays host to lakes of liquid methane and ethane that look like they could be a nice spot for an alien yachting expedition, dunes of hydrocarbons, and clouds that sometimes rain methane down onto the surface of the world, feeding its lakes.
Long story short, Titan is everything you could wish for in an alien world, and new photos (https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/jpl/pia21450/cloud-bands-streak-across-titan) taken by the Saturn-exploring Cassini spacecraft put that on stark display.
