ASTRONOMY: Since we're on the topic of storms...

Saturn has them, too!

The Storm Continues

I think I read somewhere that the storm is called "dragon storm" because unlike Jupiter's Red Spot, Saturn's storm is shaped like a dragon. I don't know, it looks like an attempt of a child to write Celtic, but I guess dragon's tail can work, too.

I love thunderstorms. I love them extra on other planets because I know they're not killing anything. They can rage all they want and I'll just love them much, much more. They should grow, like Jupiter's. There should be a planet far away from Earth that's a whole storm in itself. More dangerous than a black hole and all that. Storms here on Earth are beautiful, but it's terrible when people die because of them.

I sound like a child.

ETA: Okay, here we go: Dragon Storm

ETA2: Okay, when I was a kid, the books said Uranus had 15 moons. Now it has 27. It also had 3 rings. Now they say it's 15. WTF, I'm so behind. Then again, this is stock knowledge from when I was in grade 2. At least I still remember, right?

ETA3: I just realized how boring the Earth is. Okay, it really isn't, but isn't it unfair that we only have one natural satellite? Even Mars has more moons, and it's so small. Pluto at the moment is playing at 3 moons. Jupiter has about 40, Saturn has about 25, Uranus has 27 and we have 1. Mars having 2 moons may be because despite it's low gravitational pull, it's close to the asteroid belt, but I really don't want to think rationally when I'm ranting.

I once had a dream that we had 4 moons. We might end up drowning with the rising of the tides with 4 moons, but come on. 4 moons.
