This is interesting.
While Saturn has always had seasonal storms this is by far the the largest ever recorded. Circling the Whole planet."It appears approximately 35 degrees north latitude of Saturn. Pictures from Cassini's imaging cameras show the storm wrapping around the entire planet covering approximately 2 billion square miles (4 billion square kilometers)."
They even recorded sound! Awesome!:eyebrows:
