Saturn's South Pole is Apparently Decagon-Shaped
2 min read
Astronomers confirmed Saturn's south pole displays a ten-sided decagon pattern, per Agustín Sánchez-Lavega et al. in Science Advances. Unlike the north pole's hexagon, driven by an eastward jet, the decagon likely results from a meandering wave in the polar vortex, offering insight into planetary fluid dynamics.
