Storms in space can take many forms.*
From Jupiter's planet-sized cyclones to Earth's spinning hurricanes, our solar system is filled with raging tempests of all shapes and sizes.*
But perhaps the most beautiful weather feature in the solar system is found on Saturn.*

The ringed planet plays host to a photogenic, hexagon-shaped jet stream that circles a giant storm in the planet's **rth pole.*
A new gif showing the movement of the **rth polar hexagon shows off the Cassini spacecraft's view of the rose-tinted jet stream on April 25. This was just before the probe made a dive between the 1,500-mile-wide gap between Saturn and its rings.* Read more...
