The solar system is a happening place this week! I just learned of a major storm in Saturn's northern hemisphere, being monitored by the usual band of talented amateurs. See this site for a list of recent images. Chris Go's site has a particularly nice image.

Roughly correlated views of the storm on Saturn from Cassini and ground-based observation on June 13-14, 2011.
Interesting how the uplifted ares in Saturn (bright swirls in Methanovision) are dark in the ground-based RGB image. Use the bright cloud edge and the "pinched" area to the E to help correlate the views. Much more details on flickr: . -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
