unique six-sided jet stream at Saturn's north pole..
a massive hurricane tightly centered on the north pole, with an eye about 50 times larger than the average hurricane eye on Earth...
Numerous small vortices are also present...
The biggest of these vortices... spans about 2,200 miles (3,500 kilometers), approximately twice the size of the largest hurricane on Earth.

So... This is a REAL Polar Vortex then?

It is because of GlowBull Warming?

Very pretty.
Beautiful, in fact.

[lbryce]

Not as pretty as Ur...., oh, never mind. Just four letters away from being Zotted into the furthest regions of the infinite multiverse. .....

From this I can conclusively conclude there are no surviving trailer parks on Saturn.

[PIF]

Yes, they had to tear some of the trailer parks to make room for a larger interstellar transportation system; the old one in the center was a bit outdated and of limited functionality. Gotta love them Dwellers ... see: “The Alchemist” by Iain M Banks for further details.

It certainly nukes the idea that earth is not unique. I think the most unexamined planet is Mercury, which some see a a viable object of Colonization of Mercury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
