? Scientists have found that the ringed planet sports a massive, seasonal energy imbalance across its globe.

"This is the first time that a global energy imbalance on a seasonal scale has been observed on a gas giant,"of the University of Houston."Not only does this give us new insight into the formation and evolution of planets, but it also changes the way we should think about planetary and atmospheric science."

A team led by atmospheric scientist Xinyue Wang of the University of Houston was studying Cassini data on Saturn to examine its brightness when they noticed something interesting. The difference between how much energy it absorbs compared to how much energy it emits can vary by up to 16 percent, with fluctuations that align with the planet's seasons.
