A giant atmospheric wave was discovered at Saturn's south pole, which later emerged, unlike the famous hexagon in the north. Observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have revealed that this 10-sided structure, called a “decagon,” is growing stronger in the planet's atmosphere.
AFTER DECADES OF MYSTERY AT ONE POLE, SATURN IS NOW EXHIBITING A STRANGE NEW SHAPE IN A PLACE NO ONE EXPECTED (WORLD NEWS)
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has detected a 10-sided giant atmospheric structure developing around Saturn's south pole.
Saturn's South Pole Features Newly Formed Atmospheric Decagon
The planet Saturn is arguably the most recognizable planetary object in the entire solar system because of its massive rings. Anytime a child is asked what their favorite planet is, the answer is often “The one with the rings!” But, while Saturn’s rings are its most striking feature, the famed planet has a myriad of other unique features that often get overlooked, specifically its polar activity. This includes a long-known rotating hexagon in it…
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a giant 10-sided atmospheric structure around Saturn's south pole. According to a study published in the journal Science Advances, this structure, called a "decagon," extends across various layers of the planet's atmosphere and has become even more powerful in recent years.
A structure that surprised scientists According to research published in the journal Science Advances, this structure, called the "decagon," extends to different atmospheric layers of Saturn. Observations...
