Three earths fit into the red spot so that would be at least two.

Three earths fit into the red spot so that would be at least two. Insane. I'd hate to see tornadoes in Saturn.

I wonder how big that storm is compared to Earth? It's huge! I believe the article stated that the center of the storm is about half the size of earth. It's an interesting article, but it's to bad they couldn't show us more pictures.

NASA is phony racket, maybe 20% of what they do is legitmate. They front for clandestine subterranean labs which apply synthetic telepathic/neuro-impulse weapons technology. "Like criminals they have choked the breath Of conscience and good cheer". "Every Grain Of Sand"- Bob Dylan
