X to doubt. Why would there be clouds at all. With an orbital period of 19 hours, it must be VERY close to its Sun, it very likely has no atmosphere at all (like Mercury) as any gaseous atmosphere would be blasted off by the powerful solar winds. Titanium clouds? Floating in what atmosphere? What possible atmosphere would withstand those conditions, and create conditions necessary for the formation of clouds of metallic Titanium? This is not science, it is masturbatory fan fiction. The fucking thing is over 200 light years away. The data they would get back are going to be emission spectra, allowing them to identify that it is Titanium, and variance which would likely be caused by the rapid rotation of the planet bringing areas of different surface material (with different reflectance) into view, not fucking "clouds of Titanium". Clouds only form on Earth due to the fairly unique properties of water within Earth's atmosphere. These people are fucking dipshits.
