Gigantic Storm With Huge Tail Erupts on Saturn

[irishspirit]

An enormous storm has erupted in Saturn’s northern hemisphere.

Amateurs first sighted the storm earlier this month, but the Cassini spacecraft moved into a good position on Dec. 24 to photograph it from about 1.1 million miles away. Earth received the raw and unprocessed shots today

Are there any color shots of this ? I would be very interested in viewing those :)

Awesome. Yet more proof the entire solar system is charging up.

Wyoseeker;

I couldn't agree more with you on that. Moreover, it shows just how alive the Solor System really is.
