You're staring at one of the Solar System’s strangest secrets!
High above Saturn’s north pole, a mind-blowing storm is brewing — a perfect hexagon-shaped vortex, stretching a staggering 25,000 km wide! First captured by NASA’s Voyager in the 1980s and later revealed in stunning detail by the Cassini mission, this symmetrical monster continues to baffle scientists to this day.
Winds howl at 322 km/h (200 mph), forming a six-sided jet stream that stays shockingly stable — something we’ve never seen on Earth. And right at the center? A calm, spinning eye of a storm, like a hurricane from another world.
What causes the shape? Experts think it's due to wild atmospheric waves and complex fluid dynamics — but no one knows for sure.
