Saturn's Super Storm Up Close

Hey Space Placers!

Catching Its Tail

Wow, what a STORM! NASA's Cassini spacecraft caught an incredible, up close image of the superstorm that has been raging on Saturn since last year. The storm has "ringed" the ringed planet - that is looped back upon itself. The storm is 8 times the total are of our entire planet! In nice round numbers that is 2 billion square miles.
