It is springtime on Saturn and Voyager NASA’s flyby observes perfectly six-sided hurricane –Saturn Hexagon- that had not previously seen on any other planet. There is a continual hexagon shaped storm that rotates with the planet, but it does not change longitude like the rest of the cloud on the planet. Scientists first observed it in 1981. However, its existence was not confirmed until NASA's Cassini spacecraft revisited again in 2006. Voyager and Cassini have determined many features of the strange hexagon. The sides of the hexagon are about 13,800 km (8,600 mi) long which is huge than the diameter of Earth. The size of this hurricane is approximately 22, 00 miles which is twice the size of the largest hurricane on the earth. Scientists have discovered a variety of cloud structures and massive hurricane which is tightly centered on the North Pole. The North Pole is more unusual than the South Pole. Although, scientists have discovered many features of Saturn Hexagon, some of its concepts are abstruse, which needs to be observed.
Am I unenlightened and mistaken to emphasize on further exploration of Saturn Hexagon? Not certainly. Andrew Ingersoll said, “The hexagon is just a current of air, and water features out there that share similarities to this are notoriously turbulent and unstable. A hurricane on Earth typically lasts a week, but this has been here for decades -- and who knows -- maybe centuries.” It shows that how difficult it is to comprehend the true nature of the hexagon. It would be premature for scientists to declare that all the features of Saturn have been explored. Therefore, it is the need of the hour to explore this area further.
Indeed, new features have been discovered about Saturn hexagon but these features are captured only by infrared and ultraviolet rays which do not show the actual colors. As an illustration, scientists can see small vortices that appear like reddish ovals. Theses vortices spin cloc...
