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. |

Remarkable! Cassini has done it again. The large number of spotted white clouds adds additional splendor. Given its location at the South Pole, how would the planet's rotation affect the circular direction of the storm?

Given its location at the South Pole, how would the planet's rotation affect the circular direction of the storm? I wonder if the spotted clouds could be made of water? -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]
