Saturn's symmetry breaks: a ten-sided storm now mirrors the planet's legendary hexagon, suggesting these geometric puzzles obey deeper physics we're only beginning to understand.

Saturn has a second polygon. Astronomers working with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope report a ten-sided wave a decagon encircling the planet's south pole, roughly 104,000 miles across, each stra… [+5820 chars]
