In 2016 , the Juno spacecraft entered into an orbit of Jupiter and began sending back information about its atmosphere and magnetic field.

Juno made a bunch of discoveries about Jupiter 's polar regions, including this.

The scientists knew there'd be something at Jupiter 's poles, but weren't expecting this.

In fact, pretty much every planet and moon that we know of that has an atmosphere also has a polar vortex.

Jupiter has a cluster of polar vortices at each pole, says Dan Clark .

Each one is a circulation in the polar region within the length scale of the Rosby deformation radius for Jupiter , and so a coherent structure.

Using this definition, with a slight problem on Saturn 's moon Titan that we won't get into, you can construct a theory.

Simon Clark : I tried something a little different with this video.

I wanted to go for a slightly broader audience than normal.

I think there's probably going to be a couple of other videos based on it going forwards.
