Clouds circle around the south pole of Saturn in this image from the Cassini spacecraft. The vortex is a giant hurricane, with the warmest temperatures yet seen on Saturn. This image shows smaller storms popping up inside the vortex, which is as wide as Earth. Winds on its edge reach 350 miles per hour. [NASA/JPL]
