Raging storm

Saturn

One of the most mesmerizing images I’ve ever seen, from Saturn:

The latest offering from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, the images chronicle the life of the largest and most intense storm ever seen on the ringed planet. First detected in December 2010, the storm has developed from a small spot into a raging storm covering an area about 4 billion square kilometres, or eight times the surface of the Earth, in Saturn's northern hemisphere.
