Saturn


The huge storm churning through the atmosphere in Saturn's northern hemisphere overtakes itself as it encircles the planet in this true-color view from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. This storm is the largest, most intense storm observed on Saturn and is still active today. The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency.
