And it's speedy too. The hexagonal jet stream is flying around the planet's pole at about 220 miles per hour.

Cassini, which has been exploring Saturn and its moons since 2004, is set to make its planned death dive into the clouds of the world in 2017, marking the end of its mission.

Cassini will actually crash into Saturn in order to protect the planet's possibly water-filled moons from any contamination from the spacecraft.

Before its death dive, however, Cassini is going to fly in between Saturn and its inner ring, a first for the spacecraft to gather more data about the planet, its rings and how they interact.
