Monster Storm On Saturn Spotted By Cassini Space Probe

The "hurricane" spans a dark area inside a thick, brighter ring of clouds. It is approximately 5,000 miles across, or two thirds the diameter of Earth.

Wow! Very cool, Rue. Thanks for the link.

And how sad is it that my first thought was, "Oh great. Now CBS is going to be suing Saturn for copyright infringement."

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


Wow.

I wonder if evaporation and condensation is driving that storm. According to NASA, Saturn is a source of heat- giving off approximately 2 1/2 times the energy that it receives from the sun.

Reality sucks. Especially when it contradicts our cherished ideas.

Sometimes a storm is a storm.

Then again, you did start out by saying "Wow."

Reality might suck, but then so does a Saturnine hurricane. Still it's awe-inspiring.


"Well, here I am...Does that seem right to you?"
