Why would clouds form a hexagon on Saturn? Follow us to explore more with us @the_astrophysics_forum. Nobody is sure. Originally discovered during the Voyager flybys of Saturn in the 1980s, nobody has ever seen anything like it anywhere else in the Solar System. Acquiring its first sunlit views of far northern Saturn in late 2012, the Cassini spacecraft's wide-angle camera recorded this stunning, false-color image of the ringed planet's north pole. The composite of near-infrared image data results in red hues for low clouds and green for high ones, giving the Saturnian cloudscape a vivid appearance. This and similar images show the stability of the hexagon even 20+ years after Voyager. Movies of Saturn's North Pole show the cloud structure maintaining its hexagonal structure while rotating. Unlike individual clouds appearing like a hexagon on Earth, the Saturn cloud pattern appears to have six well defined sides of nearly equal length. Four Earths could fit inside the hexagon.

For the first time, scientists spot an alien planet as it is being formed Follow us to explore more with us @the_astrophysics_forum . This image shows the disc around the young AB Aurigae star, where ESOβs Very Large Telescope (VLT) has spotted signs of planet birth. Close to the center of the image, in the inner region of the disc, we see the βtwistβ (in very bright yellow) that scientists believe marks the spot where a planet is forming. This twist lies at about the same distance from the AB Aurigae star as Neptune from the Sun. The image was obtained with the VLTβs SPHERE instrument in polarized light.

Follow us for more @the_astrophysics_forum An annular solar eclipse occurs when the apparent size of the moon is only slightly less than the Sunβs β or the Moon almost covers the Sun β leaving only the outer rim of the Sun uncovered, and hence giving the appearance of a βring of fireβ. According to experts, during the solar eclipse on Sunday, the ring is expected to be very thin, as the Moon will cover over 98.8 percent of the Sun, making it the deepest annular eclipse of the century in India. The eclipse is expected to begin at 09:56 am on June 21, and last till 02:28 pm. While most of India will witness a partial solar eclipse, certain places in Haryana, Uttarkhand and Rajasthan are expected to witness the phenomenon of Bailyβs Beads. These include, Dehradun, Kurukshetra, Chamoli, Joshimath, Sirsa and Suratgarh. In Delhi, the eclipse will begin at 10:19 am and end at 01:48 pm, with the maximum phase occurring at around noon, the report has said. The eclipsed Sun should not be viewed with the naked eye, even for a short time. It will cause permanent damage to the eyes, leading to blindness, even when the Moon covers most portion of the Sun.

Buckle ur seat belt... Here we come July!!! Astronomical Events lined up for next month get ready. Do follow for more interesting content @the_astrophysics_forum . The Lunar Eclipse will take place on the night of 4th and 5th July. In India, it would be morning of July 5th between 8:30 am and 11:30 am. The eclipse will last for 2 hours and 45 mins. The waning, gibbous moon will meet up with the planets Jupiter and Saturn, and you can catch the celestial trio above the southern horizon just before they fade into the daylight. Venus will reach its greatest brightness in its 2020 morning apparition. It will be shining brightly at mag -4.5. The first in a trio of meteor showers that round out the month, the Piscis Austrinid meteor shower will peak on the night of July 28th. As its name implies, this shower can be seen lower in the southeastern sky of the southern hemisphere.

Atmospheric Ring of Venus || follow:- @the_astrophysics_forum Why is Venus surrounded by a bright ring? Sometimes called a ring of fire, this rare ring is caused by the Sun's light being visible all around an object. Usually seen around the Moon during an annular solar eclipse, the ring of fire is also visible when either Venus or Mercury cross the face of our Sun. the complete atmospheric ring was caused by sunlight refracting through Venus' thick atmosphere. Venus passed within one degree of the Sun during its inferiorΓΒ conjunction, as it moved from the evening to the morning sky.ΓΒ The extreme brightness of the nearby Sun made capturing such an image very difficult -- the featured image was only made possible by using a temporary filter to block direct sunlight.
