The NASA Cassini spacecraft gathered close-up images of a
hurricane that is on Saturn’s north pole.
The storm’s eye is said to measure an approximate 1,250 miles across and looks like a rose due to the color and thinness of the clouds.
This hurricane is 20 times the size of an Earth hurricane
and travels at 330 miles per hour.
A Cassini team member said he and his colleagues were surprised at the hurricane’s vortex because it resembled a hurricane on earth.
Scientist say they will study the hurricane because it is could
give some insight on terrestrial hurricanes.
