Ahh, it is pointing to Earth so them ETs don't get lost anymore.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Why does Titan, Saturn's largest moon, have what looks like an enormous white arrow about the size of Texas on its surface?

A research group led by Jonathan L. Mitchell, UCLA assistant professor of earth and space sciences and of atmospheric and oceanic sciences, has answered this question by using a global circulation model of Titan to demonstrate how planetary-scale atmospheric waves affect the moon's weather patterns, leading to a "stenciling" effect that results in sharp and sometimes surprising cloud shapes.

Perhaps so they do not get confused with that 'other' planet that is supposed to be around here now, what's that called again, oh yes, Nibiru, yes that's it...
