However, due to the lack of data and unfavorable weather conditions of Saturn, it is difficult to study this phenomenon in more detail. What is more baffling about the hexagon is that the vortex is at a higher altitude than the clouds of Saturn, meaning that the shape has raised like a huge tower. The hexagon itself is a jet stream that consists of atmospheric gases that scientists have deemed “just a current of air and weather features”. The largest of these vortices is seen to be white and is around twice the size of a normal hurricane on Earth.
Some of these vortices are seen to be moving clockwise, while others move counter-clockwise. Scientists have also spotted several vortices (centers of a storm) within the hexagon. There are winds of ammonia and hydrogen around it that move at speeds higher than 300 miles an hour. The hexagonal storm on top of Saturn is golden now.
The color images from Cassini show that the storm has turned from blue to gold over the period of several years. The eye of this storm is 50 times larger than the eye of a typical storm here on Earth.
The hexagon on top of Saturn is indeed a storm-and it is huge! The sides of it are longer than Earth, while its depth is assumed to be around 180 miles. What Is The Hexagon At Saturn’s North Pole?
