This picture shows a hurricane located at Saturns North Pole. The hurricane was captured the Cassini spacecraft last year. This infrared image shows that the red clouds are closer to the planet and the green clouds are higher up. The hurricanes eye is 2,000 km wide and is rotating at more than 500 mph. I found it really cool that there are hurricanes not only here on Earth but on other planets in our solar system, and the fact that while we think that our huricanes are huge storms, the hurricane on saturn is tremendously larger.
