Saturn S Polar Hexagon Scale Youtube Saturn's hexagon. a partial view of saturn's north pole, 2016. saturn's hexagon is a persistent approximately hexagonal cloud pattern around the north pole of the planet saturn, located at about 78°n. [1][2][3] the sides of the hexagon are about 14,500 km (9,000 mi) long, [4][5][6][7] which is about 2,000 km (1,200 mi) longer than the diameter. These natural color views from nasa's cassini spacecraft compare the appearance of saturn's hexagon and north polar region in june 2013 and april 2017. the general yellowing of the polar region is believed to be caused by smog particles produced by increasing solar radiation shining on the area as saturn moved from spring to summer, though the.

Saturn S Hexagon Viewed From The Ground Polar Projection The Abstract. the hexagonal, pole centered cloud feature in saturn's northern atmosphere, as revealed in voyager close encounter imaging mosaics, may be interpreted as a stationary rossby wave. the wave is embedded within a sharply peaked eastward jet (of 100 meters per second) and appears to be perturbed by at least one anticyclonic oval vortex. The hexagonal flow pattern on saturn is a striking example of turbulent self organization. however, the mechanism of its formation and its depth remain unclear. there are two hypotheses: in one, the hexagon is shallow, extending to depths ranging from tens to hundreds of kilometers; in the other, it extends to thousands of kilometers. As saturn approached the equinox of 2009, sunlight started illuminating the hexagon region; this mosaic is the first observation by cassini of the hexagon illuminated by the sun. the centre of the. Saturn's hexagon in motion. this colorful view from nasa's cassini mission is the highest resolution view of the unique six sided jet stream at saturn's north pole known as "the hexagon." this movie, made from images obtained by cassini's imaging cameras, is the first to show the hexagon in color filters, and the first movie to show a complete.

Saturn’s polar hexagon was discovered by voyager 28, re observed during saturn’s last northern summer in the early 1990s by hubble 44 and ground based facilities 45 and re detected by cassini. The hexagon is similar to earth’s polar vortex, which has winds blowing in a circular pattern around the polar region. on saturn, the vortex has a hexagonal rather than circular shape.
