A single wavelength of sunshine from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3 supplies a very clear view of the 10-sided atmospheric wave found encircling Saturn’s south pole. The function, labeled “decagon,” is embedded inside one among Saturn’s highly effective jet streams. The wave is centered round 63 levels south latitude, and its obvious…

The spinning, meandering decagon seems to be even larger and extra unstable than the hexagon of clouds round Saturn’s north pole that was spied by NASA’s twin Voyagers within the Eighties, the Spanish-led…
