Webb Telescope reveals new structures in Saturn’s atmosphere linked to its hexagonal storm.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured never-before-seen details in Saturn’s upper atmosphere, revealing dark, bead-like structures in the ionosphere and a lopsided, four-armed star pattern in the stratosphere.
Located above the planet’s cloud tops, these features appear linked across different atmospheric layers, possibly connected to Saturn’s deep hexagonal storm and magnetosphere interactions.
The findings, made possible by Webb’s advanced near-infrared instruments, challenge current models of gas giant atmospheres and suggest complex vertical dynamics and energy transfer.
Further observations during Saturn’s approaching equinox may reveal how these mysterious structures evolve.
