"Saturn's Epic Megastorms: Earth-Sized and Centuries-Long"

A new study has revealed that Saturn, often considered more subdued than Jupiter, experiences colossal megastorms that can last for centuries. Using radio emissions analysis, researchers discovered disturbances in ammonia gas distribution linked to past megastorms in Saturn's northern hemisphere. The study found that these storms can cause long-lasting shifts in the planet's atmosphere, challenging current knowledge of terrestrial meteorology. The findings highlight the differences between Jupiter and Saturn's atmospheric behaviors and could reshape our understanding of megastorms on other planets and exoplanets.
