Hi, we've got three stories from Curiosity.com to help you get smarter in just a few minutes.

I'm Cody Gough.

And I'm Ashley Hamer.

Today, you'll learn about a hexagon shaped hurricane on Saturn,

a Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement,

and why some products are only built to last for a few years.

Which set us for some curiosity.

This first story is about hurricanes in space.

And because we're talking about hurricanes, I wanted to give a quick

shout out to all of our listeners on the East Coast of the United States to say that

we hope you stay safe during Hurricane Florence. We just hope that you're all okay.

Yeah, we hope that you stay safe and we hope that this podcast keeps you a little bit entertained during a bit of a bad weather season.

Yeah, let's hope it all blows over quickly.

But Earth isn't the only planet that has hurricanes.

Probably everybody knows about Jupiter's Great Red Spot, which is a storm that's been brewing

for hundreds of years, but Saturn has a pretty weird hurricane too.

It's hexagon shaped. That's right, it's a storm with six

equal sides and new data shows this is a bigger storm than we thought. It towers

hundreds of miles in height.

So we first discovered Saturn's hexagon in 1988

after reviewing old data from two spacecraft called Voyager 1 and Voyager 2.

They did quick flybys of the planet in 1980 and 1981. In other words, this storm is at least 38 years old, which is weird in itself.
