Saturn, the sixth planet from the Sun, has long captivated astronomers with its extensive ring system and unique atmospheric phenomena. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One such phenomenon is the hexagon-shaped storm located at its north pole, an atmospheric mystery that has puzzled scientists since its discovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Voyager missions, operated by NASA in the early 1980s, were the first to identify this six-sided vortex, but it was the Cassini spacecraft that provided a closer examination, revealing intricate details about the shape and dynamic behavior of this extraordinary weather pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
