Read All About It!

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has tracked the aftermath of a rare massive storm on Saturn. Data reveal record-setting

disturbances in the planet's upper atmosphere long after the visible signs of the storm abated, in addition to an

indication the storm was more forceful than scientists previously thought.

These red, orange and green clouds (false color) in Saturn's northern

hemisphere indicate the tail end of the massive 2010-2011 storm. Even after visible signs of the storm started to

fade, infrared measurements continued to reveal powerful effects at work in

Saturn's stratosphere.
