The super typhoon on Saturn has an unexpectedly perfect hexagon

A giant hexagonal storm appears on Saturn. Until now, scientists have not been able to explain.

You might notice the hexagon on this black and white picture of Saturn.

Even so, some researchers think they know where the storm came from. This storm was discovered by the Voyager in the North Pole of Saturn during his planetary expedition in 1981. 

A decade later, the US Aerospace Agency launched the Cassini spacecraft to better understand the continuing super-strong storm.

Cyclone caused by stream of rays.

However, a team of scientists at Harvard University, USA, has built an atmospheric model that shows this storm muscle thousands of kilometers deep. They tested this theory in a laboratory and suggested that the deep cause of the storm could explain the hexagonal shape that existed for so long on its surface .

This model is based on previous storm hypotheses that the stream of rays in Saturn's atmosphere or in the storm's pressure block is the reason for its hexagonal shape. The changes in temperature at the moving depth of the storm, among the airflow on this planet can be the cause of the storm's special shape.

Researchers built 3D models to recreate a storm of strange shapes.

The scientists explained that analyzing the simulation model showed that the disturbance itself in the form of giant vortices created the reaction towards the East to create polygons. This is the mechanism that creates the hexagonal eddy of a hurricane on Saturn.

The team's theory will be useful for further studies in the future.

This model also has some disadvantages, such as not integrating all the elements in Saturn's atmosphere. However, it also helps future studies get in the right direction and evoke more things we don't know about the planet.
