Hubble tracks new decagon encircling Saturn’s south pole

Recent observations with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have revealed a giant, evolving 10-sided atmospheric wave encircling Saturn’s south pole. This discovery marks the first time a large regular-sided jet pattern has been observed in the planet’s southern hemisphere. The feature appears remarkably similar to Saturn’s famous hexagon at its northern pole, but is also distinctly different, suggesting scientists may be witnessing a new atmospheric phenomenon develop on the iconic gas giant.

Machine learning interprets genome sequences to map possible microbial symbionts

Nature Biotechnology, Published online: 02 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41587-026-03212-2 A machine-learning framework called symclatron uses genome sequencing content to predict whether uncultivated bacteria and archaea live independently or in close association with hosts. Applied to a global genome collection, it suggests that host-dependent microbes are widespread across Earth’s biomes and microbial phyla.
