Unraveling the Mysteries of Saturn's 100-Year-Long Megastorms

Researchers have discovered long-lasting megastorms on Saturn, similar to Jupiter's Great Red Spot, through the study of radio emissions and ammonia gas disruptions. These megastorms occur approximately every 20 to 30 years and have impacts deep in Saturn's atmosphere that persist for centuries. The findings challenge the current understanding of megastorms and atmospheric differences between gas giants, offering new insights that may affect future studies on exoplanets.
