Saturn Has Been Changing Colour For Years And Even NASA Doesn't Know Why

NASA has released images which show that Saturn has been gradually changing colour at its poles since November 2012.

In what is almost certainly a sign of the end days, the planet appears to have a huge hexagon-shaped patch that has gone from blue to gold. It's like 'the dress' all over again.

While it doesn't have concrete proof, the science bods believe that it could be due to the changing of the seasons over on Saturn.

In an official statement, a spokesperson from NASA said: "The colour change is thought to be an effect of Saturn's seasons. In particular, the change from a bluish colour to a more golden hue may be due to the increased production of photochemical hazes in the atmosphere as the north pole approaches summer solstice in May 2017."

They added that the hexagon might be a protective barrier, keeping out haze particles which have been created outside its atmosphere.
