New pictures of the huge hexagonal hurricane on Saturn
The hexagon shaped hurricane that occupies the entire north pole of Saturn has fascinated astronomers since it was discovered during the Voyager missions in the early ’80s. About a year ago, the Cassini spacecraft passed above it and, thanks to a favorable sunlight, it was able to take high resolution pictures of this peculiar weather phenomenon. Now NASA has released these photos during a Google+ hangout that had purpose to present them.
