Hubble tracks new decagon encircling Saturn's south pole
📌 概要
哈勃望远镜观测发现土星南极周围存在一个不断演化的巨大十边形大气波,这是首次在南半球观测到大型规则多边形喷流结构。该特征与著名的北极六边形相似但又有明显差异,或代表土星上新的大气现象正在形成。

Recent observations with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have revealed a giant, evolving, 10-sided atmospheric wave encircling Saturn's south pole. This discovery marks the first time a large, regular-sided jet pattern has been observed in the planet's southern hemisphere. The feature appears remarkably similar to Saturn's famous hexagon at its north pole but is also distinctly different, suggesting scientists may be witnessing a new atmospheric phenomenon developing on the iconic gas giant.
