Along with amazing photographs of the
massive storm, Cassini’s near infrared
camera detected a combination of
water and ammonia ice in the storm
clouds. The storm ended when the head
of the storm ran into its own “tail” after
encircling the planet and the circulation
eventually came to a stop.
Another recent discovery is that
Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, has an ocean
of liquid water beneath its frozen crust.
of liquid below the surface when a Cassini
Flyby in 2005 showed water vapor and
ice spewing from vents near the moon’s
south pole. Scientists recently provided
more evidence of this ocean’s existence
by measuring the gravitational variances
of the moon. Utilizing data from three
