Nasa images reveal mammoth storm on Saturn 20 times bigger than average earth hurricane




Nasa has released startling images of a swirling storm at Saturn’s north pole which is 20 times larger than an average hurricane on earth and has winds four times as powerful.
The eye of the storm is estimated to measure 1,250 miles across and looks like a rose due to its thin, bright clouds which are moving on the outer edge of the hurricane.
The images were captured by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft and shows the hurricane moving inside a mysterious, larger six-sided weather pattern known as The Hexagon.
