The Cassini spacecraft sent back some incredible pictures yesterday of a stationary hurricane up at the north pole of Saturn. The false color image of the storm is blood red and has been nicknamed The Rose.
The eye of this storm is about 1,250 miles in diameter or roughly the distance from Cleveland to Denver. The clouds on the outer bands of the storm are traveling at a speed of about 330 mph. Someone who saw it said that it reminded them of a stargate or some other trans-dimensional portal like you would see in some sci-fi movie. I just thought that it looked really cool.
