Astronomers using a giant telescope atop a volcano have discovered a hot spot at the tip of Saturn's south pole. The infrared images captured by the Keck I telescope at the W.M. Keck Observatory atop Mauna Kea on the Big Island suggest a warm polar vortex &#151; a large-scale weather pattern likened to a jet stream on Earth that occurs in the upper atmosphere. It's the first such hot vortex ever discovered in the solar system.

While earthquakes, steam and magma are getting all the attention on Mount St. Helens these days, the volcano's most unique feature could be the icy epitome of slow motion that has sprouted on its flanks in the last two decades: its glacier.
