The “hurricane” spans a dark area inside a thick brighter ring of clouds. It is approximately 8000 kilometers across or two thirds the diameter of Earth. Editor: Liu Dan.
From an opera to a hurricane in the blink of an eye

Just as important was the virtuoso way a reference to one musical style would morph into another. This worked so well because it was done in a spirit of play with none of that portentous solemnity you get with self-conscious musical fusionists such as Nitin Sawhney. It was fun to hear an “African” number turn into a duet for two operatic sopranos and even more fun to hear a jazzy song turn in surreal fashion into a vocal imitation of a hurricane with Watkiss clinging comically to the Vortex’s walls for support. It was hard to miss the reference to the tornado that had struck just a few miles away. But it wasn’t all fun and games. Watkiss earlier on spun some ecstatic variations on a Chopin prelude that had us all spellbound… This worked so well because it was done in a spirit of play with none of that portentous solemnity you get with self-conscious musical fusionists such as Nitin Sawhney.
