Cassini sees giant energy flow on Saturn


NASA's Cassini spacecraft recorded the effects of an ancient giant storm on Saturn. New data pointed to record conflict in the upper atmosphere of the planet, which existed for a long time after the in evidence signs of the storm had disappeared, and that the storm was actually much stronger than previously thought.

In the analysis of data obtained from the composite infrared spectrometer apparatus Cassini, discovered that a powerful electrical discharges that occurred during the storm, Saturn's stratosphere warmed to 83 Kelvin above its normal temperature.
