NASA'a Cassini spacecraft captured this image of a rare and powerful thunderstorm on Saturn on January 27. The unusually powerful tempest stretches some 2,175 miles (3,500 kilometers) from north to south. It's located in a region dubbed Storm Alley because of its high atmospheric activity.

NASA has spotted an enormous thunderstorm on the night side of Saturn Huh? The planet rotates one every 10 hours, more than twice as fast as earth.
