FRANCE: The permanent, turbulent colossal storms at Saturn’s poles are a mystery — but a new model may explain what causes them.
At Saturn’s north and south poles, enormous storms rage around vortices, with the northern storm bordered by a strange hexagonal pattern and large enough to fit four Earths inside.
Plenty of planets have storms. Perhaps the most famous is Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, yet Saturn’s polar storms contain a prevailing mystery. We don’t actually know what causes them. While they bear some similarities to Earth’s cyclones, the latter are caused by a combination of heat and moisture from the oceans. Saturn only has very small amounts of water, never mind oceans.
A new model by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology proposes that the answer could be storms — other storms raging elsewhere on Saturn.
