The spacecraft, called Cassini, has been orbiting and inspecting Saturn since July 2004. The first signs of this storm were captured by Cassini on Jan. 23, when lightning deep within the planet's atmosphere caused radio noise that was picked up by the craft. The storm was one of many that have been observed in Storm Alley, a region in Saturn's southern hemisphere. Most of the planet's storms occur beneath the clouds, so astronomers Famous astronomers and astrophysicists include: Directory: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A
This one measured 3,500 kilometers (2,175 miles) from north to south. That's about the distance between Salt Lake City and New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of . The storm occurred on the planet's dark side, so Cassini had to use light reflected by the planet's icy rings to get images of the storm. Using small telescopes A small telescope is generally considered to be a telescope with an aperture of less than approximately 1.0 to 1.5 meters. Small telescopes dominate astronomical research in the fields of asteroid and comet discovery and observation, variable star photometry, and supernova on Earth, amateur astronomers were later able to get the first pictures using visible light. It feels good to be warm and dry, doesn't it? http://www.sciencenewsforkids.org/articles/20060301/Note3.asp |
