There's a giant hexagonal storm at the north pole of Saturn. It's 29,000 km across. So here's Earth for scale.

The image of the hexagon is from the Cassini mission, and was taken by the spacecraft on 27 November 2012 with infrared filters. The image was processed by @kevinmgill.bsky.social. Earth is from Google Maps. Credit:NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSI/Kevin M. Gill

Still looks incredible. Pictures of other planets never cease to amaze me. The amount of engineering and technology that went into the whole mission is astounding.
