What is the Saturn hexagon?

  • Saturn's polar hexagon is a unique phenomenon in our solar system, discovered by the Voyager probes in the 80s.
  • This hexagon was created due to variations in the speed of atmospheric winds at different latitudes.
  • Numerical simulations have shown how baroclinic waves shape this fascinating geometric structure.
  • Observations made by the Cassini spacecraft provided data and images that expanded our understanding of the hexagon.
