R.L. you are on the front page of Fox News.

Not you, personally, but the W.M. Keck Observatory you work at.

The article is called Astronomers Discover 'Hot Spot' on Saturn

"Polar vortices are found on Earth, Jupiter, Mars and Venus, and are colder than their surroundings. The new images from the Keck Observatory show the first evidence of a polar vortex at much warmer temperatures."

""Saturn's is the first hot polar vortex that we've seen because it's been sitting in the sunlight for about 18 years," said Glenn S. Orton, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and lead author."
