  1. “Saturn shows off spectacular storm”

  2. NASA's Cassini spacecraft returned a stunning image of a hurricane on Saturn's northern pole. The shot was taken on November 27 and is one of the first views of Saturn's north pole lit by the sun. The colors in the image are not the real ones. Red is used to represent low clouds, and green indicates high clouds. Scientists don't know how long this storm, which has an eye that measures 1,250 miles across, with cloud speeds as fast as 330 mph, has been active. The last time the planet's north pole was imaged in 2004, it was in darkness. Studying this storm may lead scientists to new insights about hurricanes on Earth. Cassini is one part of the Cassini-Huygens mission operated by NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency.

  3. In Other News When Sen. Kelly Ayotte was defending her vote on Tuesday on a recent gun control proposal, she was confronted by the daughter of a victim in the Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school massacre. Speaking at her first town hall event in New Hampshire since the gun vote earlier this month, the Republican senator sought to explain why she voted against a measure that would expand background checks on firearms sales. But the crowd of gun control advocates and opponents created a tense environment.

"Turn in your arms. The government will take care of you," the sign says. While the sarcasm is evident, the group behind the message is not. Lamar Advertising, the company that owns the billboard, said that the group who paid for the message wants to remain anonymous. Regardless, the billboard has outraged some residents in Greeley, about 50 miles north of Denver. .
