Saturn hurricane has 1,250 mile-wide eye
Posted by Jason Samenow on April 29, 2013 at 3:56 pm
NASA has obtained first of its kind imagery of a truly gargantuan storm on Saturn with an eye that spans the equivalent distance of about Washington, D.C. to Dallas.
Like hurricanes on Earth, NASA says, the eye is mostly cloud-free.
“Other similar features include high clouds forming an eye wall, other high clouds spiraling around the eye, and a counter-clockwise spin in the northern hemisphere,” NASA writes.
