Saturn south pole decagon: NASA Hubble detects mysterious 10-sided pattern forming around planet

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a giant 10-sided atmospheric wave developing around Saturn’s south pole. Unlike the planet’s long-lived northern hexagon, the newly identified structure appears to be strengthening and was traced in Hubble observations dating back to 2023. Scientists are studying its formation, lifespan and atmospheric behaviour through…
