A Decade of Observation Decodes the Storms of the Outer Solar System
When studying the external worlds of our planetary system, there's no strong ground. Actually. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all do not have strong surface areas, and are in fact made up of clouds of swirling gases, all with their own seasons and storms.

The observations have actually revealed that there are all sorts of interests within the worlds' churning clouds, from the diminishing area of Jupiter to the altering colors of Saturn."Because OPAL now covers 10 years and counting, our database of planetary observations is ever growing," stated Amy Simon, a planetary researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in a...
