New
images captured by a NASA spacecraft show a unique six-sided jet
stream, known as the hexagon, around Saturn's north pole. The Cassini
spacecraft took the picture of the hexagon over a ten-hour period using
High-resolution cameras, and colour filters. NASA showed the images in a
movie on Wednesday. Spanning about 20,000 miles across, the hexagon is a
wavy jet stream of winds with a rotating storm at the centre.
Scientists said the storm around the pole is about twice the size of the
largest hurricane recorded on Earth and there is no weather feature
like this anywhere else in the solar system. Researchers suspect the
stability of the hexagon has something to do with the lack of solid
landforms on Saturn, which is essentially a giant ball of gas. Report by
Mark Morris.
