Saturn has a giant 18,000-mile, hexagon-shaped cloud storm that could comfortably fit two Earths inside it, and since its discovery, the mysterious hexagon has left scientists stumped.
Until now.
A recent computer simulation designed by Harvard researchers might provide some clues about what exactly is forming this unusual hexagon marvel.
The high-speed, six-sided jet stream was first discovered in the early 1980’s by NASA’s Voyager flybys.
Using data taken during Cassini’s 13-year mission, researchers from Harvard set out to answer how Saturn’s turbulent conditions could give rise to stable, geometric jets.
The team of researchers built a 3-D computer simulation of Saturn’s hexagon to study its behavior. Find out more in this Elements.

"The model the researchers created suggests the storm is thousands of kilometers deep, well beneath Saturn’s cloud tops."

"That monochrome shot was taken on September 14, 2017, less than a day before Cassini burned up."
These are the spookiest, scariest storms on any known planet

"From Jupiter's red storms to distant howling lightning storms, these are the places you least want to be."
