Storms on Saturn

[greygirlbeast]

This is one of those things. The things I live for. The things that make me glad to be around, if only to have seen them:

Huge 'hurricane' rages on SaturnMeasuring 5,000 miles (8,000km) across, the storm is the first hurricane ever detected on a planet other than Earth

That is very cool.

Yeah, I completely understand how that feels.

In similar news, the comet Swan is on its way out of the solar system. It was discovered June 20th (says wiki,, and after the end of this month, when it fades even more, very few if any people are ever going to see it again.

That's an amazing picture. It looks like the gullet of some strange, glittering beast.

It put me in mind of an eye.

Now that you mention it, I see it too. Yikes, cold chills!

[blakesrealm]

Wow, that's just amazing. I see the eye you mentioned, but as soon as I saw it I viewed it as some cosmic birth canal, readying to spit out something that will change our universe forever.

One can hope.
