NASA | Saturn's Record-Setting Storm

The video discusses the study of storms on Saturn, focusing on the Great White Spot, a massive storm that occurs once every Saturn year. The storm, which erupted in December 2010, was observed by the Cassini spacecraft. It caused unexpected increases in ethylene and significant temperature changes. The storm's scale is compared to a hypothetical Earth storm covering North America and wrapping around the planet. Cassini's observations in the infrared spectrum provided valuable data, showing temperature changes of over 80 Kelvin. This event allowed scientists to study a storm of this magnitude in detail for the first time.
