Scientists have been getting strange photos of Saturn from the Cassini Spacecraft. The photos show a hexagon in the atmosphere at Saturn's North Pole, which hasn't changed much since Voyager I spotted it 26 years ago, and an eye, resembling a hurricane, at its south pole.
Atmospheric experts at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA, are baffled and will continue to study Saturn. Updated information will be forthcoming.
Implications - It is amazing how we can see images and videos from outer space with so much new technology. The featured video is super quick, but gives you a glimpse of "Saturn's eye" and what the scientists are currently trying to figure out. Saturn is a very mysterious planet where much of it is still unknown.
