Jupiter is one of the most-studied planets by space scientists. The activities happening on the surface of the gas giant have always fascinated the experts, who try to decode those occurrences to ...

In remote regions of the Arctic, Antarctica, and the Australian outback, an explorer can trek across bleak, uninhabited landscapes only to suddenly stumble upon ground decorated with weird patterns.

An innovative network approach to explain polygonal patterns in clouds could help scientists find more accurate descriptions of clouds in computer models of weather and climate change. Polygons are ...

NASA's Curiosity rover snapped this view of polygon-patterned bedrock on May 4. Mars is home to a lot of odd-shaped rocks that can look pretty random. Patterns, however, can catch scientists’ eyes.

It may look like a close-up snap of a honeycomb, but these pictures are actually what the Martian landscape looks like from orbit. The strange polygon-shaped features have been photographed numerous ...

Jupiter’s poles are home to astonishingly large cyclones that have swirled in perfect geometric formation for years. Forming a polygon at the planet’s north pole is a large cyclone surrounded by eight ...

What just happened? A group of mathematicians created a "new" polygon previously known to exist only in theory. It's a 13-sided shape that they dubbed "the hat," even though it only vaguely resembles ...
