Saturn's north pole !

The hexagon is nearly 30,000 km (20,000 miles) wide. This is large enough that two Earths could fit inside the storm with room to spare.

It is a standing atmospheric wave created by a powerful jet stream that wraps around the pole. Winds along its edges can exceed 300 km/h (about 220 mph).

At the very center of the hexagon lies a deep, dark polar vortex that extends hundreds of kilometers down into Saturn's atmosphere.

NASA just dropped some of the clearest images ever captured of the planets in our Solar System. From the massive storms on Jupiter to the iconic rings of Saturn, these high-resolution views reveal details that were impossible to see just a few decades ago. Modern space telescopes and planetary missions are now capturing planets with insane clarity.

You can spot swirling cloud bands, giant storms larger than Earth, icy rings made of countless particles, and atmospheric patterns moving across entire worlds. Every new image reminds us that these planets are not just distant dots in the sky but dynamic, evolving worlds.
