Spectacular Storm on Saturn

Today, and image came back from the Cassini satellite that showed Saturn's North Pole. The image was of a huge storm, it would have engulfed the United States. Just the eye of the storm was 1,250 miles long, and the cloud speed was estimated at almost 330 miles an hour. The picture that is shown looks very colorful, but they are just put there to show the really high clouds and the really low clouds. Many scientists here on Earth believe that we can learn from this storm. They believe that we can understand hurricanes here better than we do right now.
