Visualized: Space hurricane! NASA's Cassini records super cyclone on Saturn (video)

If the crashing sound of lightning
striking Saturn wasn't enough to excite your
inner-meteorologist, then perhaps footage of a raging
extraterrestrial hurricane will win you over. After orbiting the
ringed planet for nine years, NASA's Cassini
probe has managed to snag video of a super storm on the celestial
body's north pole. Cloaked by the darkness of winter, the
hurricane's eye became visible as Saturn's northern hemisphere
transitioned into spring. Unlike the tropical cyclones of Earth
(see: Hurricane Katrina, Sandy and Irene), this furious typhoon
has been spinning for several years and has winds that flow at
speeds exceeding 300MPH. Further differentiating itself from our
world's whirlwinds, this alien cyclone is locked to its planet's
north pole and is fueled by small amounts of water vapor instead
of an actual ocean. Completely in a category of its own,
the hurricane's eye measures about 1,250 miles wide and is
surrounded by fluffy white clouds the size of Texas. To see this
Saturnian fury in all its glory, check out the video after the
break and feel free to leave your gratuitous hurricane names in
the comments below.

I'm really loving the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility issues? A few of my blog audience have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any solutions to help fix this problem?
