Saturn Storm
A bright storm erupted on Saturn at the end of 2010. It was first spotted by amateur astronomers in the northern hemisphere of the planet. They spotted it in early December when Saturn was rising in Earth's predawn sky. On December 24th, the Cassini Spacecraft took this photograph from 1.8 million kilometers away. It is considered a complex distrubance. The storm has evolved since the picture was taken, and it is now stretches quite far around Saturn. It is pretty amazing that we are able to see such a large storm on another planet!
