... A Raging Storm System on Saturn . ... Credit Copyright: Cassini Imaging Team , SSI , JPL , ESA , NASA Explanation: It was one of the largest and longest lived storms ever recorded in our Solar System. First seen in late 2010, the above cloud formation in the northern hemisphere of Saturn started larger than the Earth and soon spread completely around the planet. The storm was tracked not only from Earth but from up close by the robotic Cassini spacecraft currently orbiting Saturn. ...

... 1994: . As a result of comparing the spectra of active solar regions from the observations with high spatial resolution in the microwave range at the RATAN-600 (the S-component) with a flare component observed at meter wavelengths on the VLA (USA) we revealed the presence of a strong and prolonged noise storm exactly where a weak decaying active region (with the presence of powerful active regions in the disk) is located. ...

Research questions include: . The solar system probably formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a giant disk of gas, dust and ice in space. ... All forms of life on Earth require liquid water to survive, so the presence of liquid water is a good criterion for deciding whether other planets in the universe could be habitable. Earth is the only habitable planet in the solar system. ... Planets and moons in the outer solar system are too cold for liquid water. ...
