Space Tumblr Themes

Name’s Morrigan, I hail from the U.S. and I have a strong interest in Astronomy and all things extraterrestrial.

Please enjoy the view! :)

rhamphotheca: Saturn’s Jet Streams In a new study appearing in the June edition of the journal Icarus, scientists used images collected over several years by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft to discover that the heat from within the planet powers the jet streams. Condensation of water from Saturn’s internal heating led to temperature differences in the atmosphere. The temperature differences created eddies, or disturbances that move air back and forth at the same latitude, and those eddies, in turn, accelerated the jet streams like rotating gears driving a conveyor belt… read more: http://tinyurl.com/7cnyp9h (via: Lunar & Planetary Institute)
