Saturn’s Enigmatic Giant Storms: New Study Reveals Centuries-Long Impact and Mysteries

2023-08-12 22:24:54

A new study in the journal Science Advances finds that Saturn, while much gentler than Jupiter, also has long-lasting giant storms with deep impacts in the atmosphere that have lasted for centuries. The study was conducted by astronomers from the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Michigan, who studied radio emissions from the planet and found long-term disturbances in the distribution of ammonia. Giant storms occur on Saturn regarding every 20 to 30 years and are similar to hurricanes on Earth, although much larger. But unlike Earth’s hurricanes, no one knows why they occur in Saturn’s atmosphere. copyright: original content: original content
