Saturn's south pole


Check out this Cassini beauty: looking at Saturn's south pole (that bull's eye marking the pole is a storm with an eye and wall clouds locked on the pole - a uniquely Saturnian storm system with 350 mph winds and 45-mile high clouds. Another, smaller storm is to the right. Beyond the curve of the planet we can see the edge of the rings.

What a glorious image! Could you make up such a planet?
