Hubble images revealed a giant 10-sided wave around Saturn's south pole; one side stretches over 10,000 miles and the pattern has grown clearer since 2023
- NASA’s Hubble captures Saturn’s mysterious 10-sided atmospheric wave at its south pole (Image: X/ @NASAHubble)Saturn has revealed another strange feature in its atmosphere, and this time it is hiding around the planet’s south pole.
- New observations from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have captured a giant, evolving 10-sided atmospheric wave encircling the southern pole of the gas giant.
- The unusual formation, described as a decagon because of its 10-sided appearance, is embedded in one of Saturn’s powerful jet streams and extends through multiple layers of the planet’s atmosphere.
