APOD 3.8

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap110317.html

Above is a storm in Saturn's Northern Hemisphere, called a 'white storm' and nicknamed 'The Serpent Storm'.  The storm is perfectly placed for the Cassini space craft to view. The contrast is so stark that the storm can be seen from Earth! The storm is currently being monitored by amateur astronomers. The storm was first spotted in December of last year.
