Space Titbits

Some interesting space stuff just spotted – double vortex spotted at Venusian south pole [1] by Venus Express as well as imagery from Venus Expresses first orbit released [2] by the ESA.

Also Saturn now has nine new moons discovered [3] by a team using the Subaru 8.2-meter telescope [4]. The Planetary Society blog post goes on to say:

If you’re keeping score, Jupiter is stil in the lead with 63 moons, but Saturn is running a close second now with 56. Uranus has 27 known moons and Neptune has 13, but both of those planets almost certainly have a lot more than anyone has spotted yet.
