Saturn’s Southern Decagon: When Weather Makes Geometry
0:00-6:30

Saturn’s famous northern hexagon has a fascinating southern counterpart: a ten-sided atmospheric wave. We explore the observations behind the southern decagon, how waves in a jet stream can create polygonal patterns, and what this unusual structure may reveal about the ringed planet’s changing atmosphere. It’s a journey into the fluid dynamics of a giant world—and the surprising geometry that moving air can produce.
