[ScienceD] Massive storm pulls water and ammonia ices from Saturn's depths - Science Daily - 2013-09-04 Massive storm pulls water and ammonia ices from Saturn's depths Once every 30 years or so, or roughly one Saturnian year, a monster storm rips across the northern hemisphere of the ringed planet. In 2010, the most recent and only the sixth giant storm on Saturn observed by humans began stirring. It quickly grew to superstorm proportions, reaching 15,000 kilometers (more than 9,300 miles) in width and visible to amateur astronomers on Earth as a great white spot dancing across the surface of the planet. http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_science/~3/Cd5dmtyIO_U/130903193648.htm
