    Like Jupiter, jetstreams in Saturn's atmosphere move in both westerly and easterly directions, and create storms where they pass each other. This Voyager 2 image was taken over a two month period as the spacecraft approached the planet. White clouds in the atmosphere appear to leave a trail of smaller clouds in their wake.
