7 month anniversary of Saturn storm
Hi All,
Attached is an image from last night 27th June, marking the 7 month anniversary of the longest lived storm ever seen on Saturn.
I took 18 avi's to create 6 RGB images starting in the twilight.
Note the change in morphology from the image that I posted from 19th June In that image there were 2 storms, 1 at Lon 310 & 1 at Lon 342.
Last night there were still 2 storms, a fairly bright one at Lon 323 and a less prominent one at Lon 331.
This demonstrates the importance of collecting this data, these are transient object that can change over relatively short time frames. These images combined with the Cassini RPWS data allow for much more intense scientific analysis of the processes at work.
Regards
Trevor
