Dragon Storm (astronomy)

Dragon Storm

Dragon Storm (dubbed so in September 2004 because of its unusual shape) is a large, bright and complex convective storm in Saturn's southern hemisphere. It appears to be long-lived and periodically flares up to produce dramatic white cloudy plumes that then subside. This storm is a strong source of radio emissions, which are interpreted by Cassini scientists as electric events like lightning on Earth.^[1]
