Planet Saturn it is the second largest planet in our solar system, and because of its very large dimensions, researchers follow it very carefully, which is perfectly normal in such situations. Analyzing the planet Saturn very carefully in 2019, researchers discovered a new type of storms of very large sizes, which have a very long duration of development, which expands everything that is known about the planet.
The planet Saturn had until now two types of storms known to researchers, some of medium size that had diameters of about 2000 square KM, and that appeared in the form of strongly colored cloud systems. These disappeared in just a few days after they were formed, while others had diameters about 10 times larger, and which lasted for several months, being observed multiple times on the planet Saturn in the last decades.
Planet Saturn: The INCREDIBLE discovery made by researchers
The planet Saturn has also discovered another type of storms that extend from one side to another of certain regions on the planet, they have diameters of 4000-8000 square KM, but also last up to 8 months. This new type of storms observed on the planet Saturn also has a more special characteristic, and this is because they can combine to affect much larger regions than the initial ones they covered, their sizes being very large anyway.
"Here we report a new intermediate type, observed in 2018 in the northern polar region. Four large storms with east–west lengths of ∼4.000–8.000 km (the first lasting more than 200 days) formed sequentially in close latitudes, encountering each other and leading to zonal disturbances affecting a full latitude band ∼8.000 km wide, for at least Eight months.”
The planet Saturn is covered by storms all the time, and this discovery shows us that there are still many unknowns regarding the evolution of things there. The storms on the planet Saturn are what made the celestial body so well-known throughout the world, especially the largest one that has a central point that has become a distinct element in recognizing the planet in any kind of pictures.
The planet Saturn will continue to be researched by astronomers, so it is possible that in the future there will be more discoveries of this kind, they being very important for all of humanity.
