Researchers create a brand new 3D mannequin that would clarify the formation of a hexagon storm on Saturn -- a hurricane about 20,000 miles in diameter.
The long-lived worldwide Cassini mission has revealed a stunning function rising at Saturn's northern pole because it nears summertime: a warming, high-altitude vortex with a hexagonal form, akin to the well-known hexagon seen deeper down in Saturn's clouds.
Jason the Great has build the image of the raw data published in the Thursday, the archive of the Cassini. "If I see something interesting, and it seems that it is included in the color visible light, I collect the colored version in Photoshop".
Explanation: Why do clouds form a hexagon on Saturn? No one is sure. Originally discovered during the Voyager flybys of Saturn in 1980, no one has seen anything like it anywhere else in the solar system. If Saturn's south pole was not strange enough with its vortex, Saturn's north pole ...
