#PPOD: Saturn in Infrared 🪐

Saturn viewed at infrared wavelengths, as imaged by NASA's Cassini spacecraft in 2014. The hexagon at the top represents a giant jet stream, approximately 29,000 to 30,000 kilometers wide, with sides approximately 14,500 kilometers long – longer than Earth's diameter. This massive storm spans 75 to 300 kilometers high and is a long-lived atmospheric feature centered around Saturn's north pole.
