Amazing alien storms

We often see in the news stories about how extreme hurricanes and other weather adversities occasionally disrupt built man. Yes, for our planet storms like Sandy and really quite significant, but compared to the alien storms, they are no more than children's toys. Cyclones, more reminiscent of disasters, tear dense atmosphere of gas giants, dust devils roam Mars ... Thanks to modern satellites and telescopes, you can see for yourself some of the most ferocious storms raging on other planets. An incredible sight!

rose on Saturn

The diameter of the typhoon, which seized the north pole of Saturn in 2013, reached two thousand kilometers. Had something like that on Earth and our civilization would come to an end. Scientists still can not understand why a hurricane with a velocity of 540 km / h all the time remained in the same place.

Dark spots Neptune

In 1989, the space probe NASA "Voyager 2" was first noted by the so-called Great Dark Spot (GDS), is formed on the surface of Neptune. Cyclone size of Earth raged in the southern hemisphere of Neptune, wind accelerated to 2400 km / h. And this happens quite often here: Hubble captures new cyclones several times a year.

Dragon Storm on Saturn

"Cassini" mission took pictures of this incredible storm in 2004. The so-called "Dragon Storm" is the length of the storm as much as 3,200 kilometers. Inside beat lightning 1,000 times stronger than on Earth.

Rare Martian spiral storm

In 1999, over the Martian polar ice caps have experienced a huge storm. Despite the fact that he was four times greater Moscow region and covers the entire north pole of Mars, the storm lasted only one day. In the future, astronomers found: for the red planet are typical of all two cyclones per year.

Mysterious hurricanes Titan

Titanium coated methane rivers and lakes, which are disposed in and surrounded by imposing mountains dunes. It is these dunes and surprised by our astronomers for all indications, they should be drawn to the west, but in reality, dunes tend to east. Relatively recently Physics explained what was going on - methane storms on Titan is so strong that literally forced the planet's surface.

The eye of Saturn

Over the South Pole of Saturn's storms another typhoon, seized nearly forty kilometers of space. As described above Rose Saturn, this storm does not leave his familiar spot.

A small red spot of Jupiter

About the Great Red Spot of Jupiter heard by many, but the formation of the Small spots remained almost unnoticed by the public. The new entity was nicknamed "Oval Wa": three huge hurricane merged into one and the storm of incredible power is highlighted in red.

Hypnotic hexagon Saturn

Perhaps the most stunning and mysterious vortex in the solar system. Hexagon Saturn simply awe-inspiring views of one, large enough to cover four of the Earth again, he spends one full circle for ten hours. Its unusual shape also requires new research - so far scientists have found that the hexagon has been around for hundreds of years.

Dust Devils of Mars

Martian dust devils are 10 times higher and 50 times wider than their earthly brethren. For researchers of the Red Planet, these formations are a major risk. However, sometimes they also offer benefits: in 2005, one of the tornadoes blew the dust off the solar panels of the rover Spirit, which enabled the latter to continue its mission.

Venus double hurricane

This hurricane - the constant friend of Venus. Astronomers have discovered it in 2006: double cyclone is raging about a week, then it calms down for a few days and again gaining momentum.
