James Webb Space Telescope reveals dark beads and star patterns in Saturn’s atmosphere
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected unusual dark beads in Saturn's ionosphere and a lopsided star pattern in its stratosphere. These previously unseen features may be interconnected and linked to Saturn's famous hexagonal storm. The discovery challenges existing atmospheric models and provides new insights into the gas giant's dynamics and auroral activity.
