Cassini Observes Hurricane-Like Storm On Saturn

Aglassis writes "The Cassini spacecraft recently observed a hurricane-like storm on the south pole of Saturn. What makes this storm particularly interesting is that this is the first time that a clearly defined eyewall has been seen outside of the Earth in the Solar System. Neither the Great White Spot of Saturn nor the Great Red Spot of Jupiter have had an observable eyewall. NASA, JPL, and the Space Science Institute have released a short movie of the motion around the eyewall (mirrored at YouTube)."

    Whatever, man, the fact is that Neil Armstrong lied to us. And we gobbled it up. So what else are those phonies at NASA lying to us about? HMMMM?
