Dragon Storm (astronomy)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dragon Storm (dubbed so in September 2004 because of its unusual shape) is a name given to a large, bright and complex convective storm in Saturn's southern hemisphere. The storm appears to be long-lived and periodically flares up to produce dramatic white plumes which then subside. The storm was a strong source of radio emissions. ^[1]
