Here’s A GIF Of The Six-Sided Jet Stream At Saturn’s North Pole

Our Earthly hurricanes look tame compared to this.

These images were taken by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft, looking down on Saturn's north pole.

The little whorl towards the bottom right of the image is actually a huge hurricane 2,200 miles across – that's about twice the size of the biggest hurricane we've ever seen on Earth.

The jet stream itself, visible as a six-sided hexagon, is 20,000 miles across and has winds blowing at 200 miles per hour. And a massive storm raging right in the middle of it.

The above image is in what's known as "false colour" to allow scientists to pick out features better. Here's what it would look like to our eyes.

You can see the central storm and five of the six sides of the jet stream in this photo.
