Astronomers using Hubble found a new roughly 104,000-mile-wide ten-sided storm forming at Saturn’s south pole, a geometric twin to the famous hexagon that has long circled the north

Hubble reveals mysterious 10-sided pattern swirling at Saturn's south pole
Hubble Space Telescope
— Sep 3, 2026
Astronomers have identified a giant 10-sided decagon in Saturn’s southern atmosphere, likely forming between 2017 and 2023 and continuing to evolve, with sides surpassing 10,000 miles. The feature, observed via Hubble and ground-based telescopes and published in Science Advances, drifts eastward about 6 mph and challenges the view that Saturn’s north-pole hexagon is unique by revealing a more complex, dual-pole meteorology.
