Saturn's North Polar Hexagon
Saturn's north pole features an amazing six-sided jet stream, known as the polar hexagon. This false-color image from the Cassini spacecraft shows the hexagon, about 30,000 kilometers across. It's a long-lived feature tied to the planet's rotation, first seen in Voyager images from the 1980s.
