The precise measurement of Saturn’s rotation has presented a great challenge to scientists, as different parts of this sweltering ball of hydrogen and helium rotate at different speeds whereas its rotation axis and magnetic pole are aligned. A new method leads to a new determination of Saturn’s rotation period and offers insight into the internal structure of the planet, its weather patterns, and the way it formed.
