NASA observes record-setting gas storm on Saturn

A NASA satellite has captured rare, record-setting "burp" on the surface of Saturn in the aftermath of a massive storm, the US space agency said. 
 

Temperatures in Saturn's stratosphere soared more than 65.5 Degree Celsius above normal in the aftermath of a storm, according to data captured by NASA's Cassini satellite, which orbits the ringed planet.
The ethylene gas which NASA calls a "burp" generated by the storm - was 100 times more than scientists thought the planet was capable of making.
