Hurricane on the planet saturn

Space probe "Cassini", arrived in orbit of Saturn in 2004, brought images of a super hurricane recorded in the northern pole of the planet.

 
Eye of the storm, according to the researchers, the diameter is about two thousand miles. Photos are fired from "Cassini" at a distance of 420 thousand kilometers. Scientists said the storm winds go up to 150 meter per second.

 
Hurricane is caught in its advanced stage and is not yet known when it is formed and as long as this hurricane will be active.Surveillance north pole of Saturn has been impossible until 2004, after his arrival in the "Cassini", the pole was covered by darkness, rather it was "winter season" on planet earth needs for 29 years perform a full rotation around the sun and cycle to meet "the four seasons".These are the first images of the day fired from the northern pole of the planet, since 1981 when "Voyager-2" flashed some photos while passing the "accident" near Saturn.

  
_"Shkrepëm two photos when we saw the phenomenon for more resembled a terrestrial hurricane, only that its dimensions were many times larger. It is set in the atmosphere of Saturn hidrogjentë and we think it contains small amounts of evaporated water, "said Andrew Ingersoll, a member of the team of scientists to probe" Cassini "based on the California Institute of Technology.Researchers think that the "journey" of the hurricane will be the center of the north pole of Saturn, the same tendency that the hurricanes have formed on Earth.This is the second time the "Cassini" brings images of a hurricane from Saturn. In 2006, the probe sent to earth footage of a hurricane even greater. But these images were not very clear due to darkness at the northern pole of the planet.
