A "Dry Hurricane" on Saturn!

An oval-shaped feature, wider than Earth and with streamers extending out to the East and West, swirls in Saturn's Southern Hemisphere.
Like the rainbands of a Southern Hemisphere hurricane on Earth, the streamers spiral into the feature in a clockwise direction.
Unlike Earth's hurricanes, this storm probably contains no liquid water.

The image was taken in wavelengths of polarized infrared light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Oct. 30, 2005, at a distance of approximately 324.000 Km (appx. 202.000 miles) from Saturn. The image scale is about 32 Km (appx. 20 miles) per pixel.
