First Extraterrestrial Hurricane Discovered It takes place at Neptune’s south pole

Scientists peering over old and recent images of the gas giant Neptune, the eight planet from the Sun, were recently amazed to discover an eerily familiar pattern in the way clouds at the planet’s south pole were behaving. Their analysis revealed that the region was at the moment battered by what could best be described as a hurricane, as clouds at the location appeared to be trapped in a massive vortex. The process is very likely to be going on for a few years, as even the images delivered by the Voyager spacecraft showed indications of them, Technology Review reports.
