Cyclones on the icy moon of Saturn - Titan

Astronomer studies the possibility of the origin of cyclones over the surface of the largest moon of Saturn - Titan, indicating some similarities to the weather with the Earth. Saturn's moon Titan, whose surface is so cold that methane falls on her in the form of rain in the summer raises its temperature so that makes it possible for cyclone zipping above the seas. Marine evaporation is able to generate enough energy to produce wind, moving at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour. However, the formation of cyclones totally depends on what is the chemical composition of the seas of Titan.

Constantly changing vortex over the south pole of Venus

As a new study shows, a huge cyclone formed over the south pole of Venus, is divided into parts, and then going back into one.

Observation of the planet for the past six years has allowed concluding that the "long-lived" storm is constantly evolving. This fact led to a greater number of issues related to the unusual weather conditions on the planet.

In 2006, when the spacecraft ESA "Venus Express (Venus Express, VEX) came to Venus (this was in April), then over the South Pole was seen resembling a cyclone structure, 

New research Curiosity

Moving away from the forced hibernation, the rover “Curiosity " immediately proceeded to new research. He even made a fence of new samples of Martian soil and made it into powder with its onboard scientific instruments. Now, the rover is ready to perform a complete chemical and spectral analysis of the obtained powder and send the results to Earth at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA).
