I read the other day nasa, had seen a hurricane on saturn, i think it was.....?

Question

.but to have a hurricane you need water, so do you rekon they've got their "facts" wrong again ?

Answer 1

Sounds like a storm in a tea cup

Answer 2

Chris, if you read it carefully, the NASA scientists have detected a storm which looks LIKE a hurricane, not exactly like it, but it has some similarities.

The system is stationary, UNLIKE a hurricane. It is centred around a pole of the planet, as I understand. The system does not have to be water based. They don't yet know if it is water based.

Answer 3

i read in the article that that storm on saturn looks like a hurricane, but has no characteristics of one. I'm pretty confident that nasa knows that you need water to have a hurricane

Answer 4

Water is not necessary in a hurricane and yes they did see a hurricane just over 1000 kilometres across! Photographic evidence was seen of this occurrence.

Answer 5

You read this the day before yesterday, also yesterday it
was reported in most scientific alerts. They said that they
noticed something that "looked like a hurricane" but were
not quite sure. Scientists will continue to monitor this
phenomena and tell us when they are certain of what
really is going on.

Answer 6

I hear about it and look at the Internet also. Look like for me Hurricane. What is that? I don't know.

Answer 7

There are `weather' fronts on a number of planets in the solar system. Would not surpise me if they had seen a movement of gases etc

Answer 8

There are hurricanes in almost each planet

Answer 9

I really don't care, unless it's happening on our planet!
