Astronomers said that the violent storm that blew mid-January 2009 in an atmosphere of Saturn and continued without interruption over the past eight months is the longest, which monitors so far in the solar system.
This storm is the ninth monitored by the U.S. probe "Cassini" topic in orbit around Saturn since 2004, and these weather phenomena which may extend to a radius of three thousand kilometers usually occurs in the region called the scientists called "storm alley" is situated on latitude 35 south of the equator in the Saturn.
And electric shocks caused by the storms of Saturn lead to the issuance of waves ten thousand times stronger than those of the storms the floor.
The Joerg Fischer Austrian Academy of Sciences, that these storms are not only remarkable for its strength and length, but also waves produced by the atmosphere of Saturn is useful ionizing.
And levels of ionizing radiation in this Tbakp from the air monitoring device which "propelled W. S" in the probe "Cassini" is a hundred times more on the day of Saturn on the evening of the planet, which confirms data monitoring probe Voyager in 1980 and 1981.
