This is the article. Check it out.
"Cassini now has evidence for changes in the thunderstorms that occur on Saturn over more than 20 years since we first started making measurements of these," Kurth said. One difference is that lightning is occurring much more sporadically.
@Some days we see no lightning at all; other days we see evidence perhaps of more than one storm," Kurth said. "Back in the early 1980s on Voyager such storms were detected extremely regularly."
Another major difference is that the thunderstorms observed by Cassini are taking more time to rotate around the giant gas planet — about 10 hours and 45 minutes, compared to the 10 hours and five minutes in the 1980s.
The pictures presented don't really tell you much.
Wanted, Court Jester
I know I'm out of a job and all, but this seems a little difficult even for my myriad set of skills:
A court jester to fill a post vacant for 350 years since England executed its king.
English Heritage said in an advertisement in the Times on Thursday applicants for the competition at the weekend should bring their own costumes with bells, but said it would provide a bladder on a stick -- a traditional jester's prop. Contrary to the image of a buffoon, court jesters had to be highly astute, able to lift the spirits of their monarchs and risked death if they failed -- as many did.
The duties of the last court jester, whose job ended in 1649 when Charles I lost his head, included making him laugh and providing a distraction from politics. This time, however, English Heritage said the winner would not risk decapitation but would still have to provide trenchant wit. Would-be fools should attend a public audition Saturday at Stoneleigh Park in central England, wearing their costumes.
My goodness, supply your own wardrobe; keep the monarch cheerful; probably quote vast sections of King Lear, and when Her Majesty should abdicate, splitting up the UK into three separate kingdoms, the fool should follow her through the wild heath as she rages against the storm... I'm sure. I put this one in the too hard basket. Gimme something I can work with, guys. :)
