HONOLULU (Feb. 4) - Astronomers using a giant telescope atop a volcano have discovered a hot spot at the tip of Saturn's south pole.

The infrared images captured by the Keck I telescope at the W.M. Keck Observatory atop Mauna Kea on the Big Island suggest a warm polar vortex - a large-scale weather pattern likened to a jet stream on Earth that occurs in the upper atmosphere. It's the first such hot vortex ever discovered in the solar system.

Pretty interesting! Altho, I hate how they call it "hot", cause it's still like -175C. Yes it's warmer then the surrounding area, but not hot compared to how we perceive it.

Here's a CNN link to all of us opposed to clikcing anything AOL! haha!

Be interesting what more we can learn from this tho... I'll be wating for updates for sure!

It will be interesting to see if it will dissapear eventually or will stay as the Red spot on Jupiter...

hey whats wrong with aol links haha!
