This movie, made from images obtained by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, shows the clouds of a hurricane-like storm, which circulate around the north pole of Saturn out to 88.5 degrees north latitude. The latitude of the bright ring of clouds is 89.0 degrees, which is about 587 miles (945 kilometers) from the pole. The eye of the storm is about 50 times larger than the average hurricane eye on Earth.

A higher-resolution movie shows 1,680 steps that flow smoothly at 60 frames per second. This version includes a small circle going around the outside that gives the position of the sun during the five-hour observation period.
