HUBBLE IMAGES SHOW STORM ON SATURN
A spectacular new image taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows a
storm -- as large as Earth -- on the planet Saturn.
The storm, which appears as a white arrowhead-shaped feature near the
equator, was generated by an upwelling of warmer air, similar to a
thunderhead on Earth. This new image, taken by Hubble's Wide Field and
Planetary Camera-2, shows that the storm has remained relatively stable
since its discovery three months ago.
