Saturn hurricane snapped by Cassini craft

An enormous hurricane raging at Saturn's north pole has an eye 2,000km (1,250mi) across - big enough to cover the UK 12 times over.

The striking images of the storm were snapped from a height of 420.000km (260,000mi) by the Cassini spacecraft, which arrived at Saturn in 2004.

They were captured in red and infrared wavelengths and have been false-coloured to show detail.

Scientists say the hurricane's winds reach a staggering 150m/s (330mph).

But they do not know just how long the storm has been brewing.



So Saturn has its own Great Red Spot now? Nice :D
