Saturn Electrostatic Discharges (also referred to as SEDs) are atmospheric lightning events in convective weather storms on Saturn that produce high frequency (HF) radio emissions (1–40 MHz). Terrestrial lighting events on Earth , in comparison, occur in the very low frequency (VLF) radio band, between 3 Hz and 30 kHz.
The Great White Spot, also known as Great White Oval (named by analogy to Jupiter's Great Red Spot) is a series of periodic storms on the planet Saturn that are large enough to be visible from Earth by telescope by their characteristic white appearance. The spots can be several thousands of kilometers wide.

This means that the direction of incoming sunlight is driven almost entirely by Titan's day-night cycle and Saturn's year cycle. The day cycle on Titan lasts 15.9 Earth days, which is how long it takes Titan to orbit Saturn. Titan is tidally locked, so the same part of Titan always faces Saturn, and there is no separate "month" cycle.
On Tuesday night, Aug. 20, Saturn and the moon will rise together, appearing as a tight-knit pair separated by a distance smaller than the width of a pinky finger held at arm's length.
Saturn's Great White Spot, imaged by NASA's Cassini Spacecraft in 2011 False color image of the Dragon Storm, imaged by Cassini. Every Saturn year, about 28 Earth years, Saturn has massive planet-circling storms, called Great White Spots. The Great White Spots are short-lived but can impact the atmosphere and temperature of the planet for up to ...
