"Saturn's Energy Imbalance Fuels Massive Storms, Cassini Reveals"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by ScienceAlert
Scientists have discovered a significant seasonal energy imbalance on Saturn, with energy absorption and emission varying by up to 16% due to its elliptical orbit. This finding challenges existing models of gas giant atmospheres and suggests similar imbalances may exist on other gas giants like Jupiter, Neptune, and Uranus. The research, based on Cassini data, could also enhance our understanding of planetary weather and climate.
