Oh hey look, another space drawing. It's almost is if I'm interested in astronomy or something. XD

Almost everyone knows of the two most famous storms in the solar system, Jupiter's Great Red Spot and Neptune's Great Dark Spot, but not as many people know of Venus's equally captivating permanent weather feature; two swirling hurricane-like whirlpools of hot, dense clouds that sink down to the southern pole as they cool like water swirling down a drain, then heated again at the surface to rise back into the cloud-tops all over again. An effect caused by the extremely high wind speeds at high altitudes and monstrous convection currents.
