Jupiter is known for the large hurricane-like storms that rage in its atmosphere. However, Jupiter is not the only gas giant to have large atmospheric storms, called extraterrestrial vortexes. Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have all experienced these storms as well.
The image on the left shows a large storm, called the Great White Spot, on Saturn as shown by the Cassini mission. On the right, the Great Dark Spot seen on Neptune by Voyageur. Image credit left: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSI, right: NASA – NSSDC Photo Gallery, P-34672C
