A hurricane-like whirlpool with a well-developed eye ringed by towering clouds, a phenomenon never before seen on another planet, has been sighted by multiple Cassini instruments at Saturn's south pole. |

Yes UGORDAN... thanks indeed...
Driving home from work these past few days, I see all these wonderful afternoon cumulus clouds gracing the Ohio sky. My mind wanders to Saturn skies..... the perpetual puffs of cumuli, roiling from the internal furnace below... what a joy it would be to fly a plane through those, and then find oneself over that great, yawning abyss of the southern vortex... Can hardly wait for the northern hexagon to peek into sunlight after, what ... more that 7 years of polar night. My goodness... what beauty abounds out there... I never get complacent. Each place we explore, all filled with wonders galore. Craig |
