TLDR

MIT scientists have discovered how Jupiter and Saturn developed different polar vortices. Their findings suggest that the 'softness' of a planet's interior, particularly the base of the vortex, influences the formation of single or multiple polar vortices. This research could help understand the planets' surface weather patterns and their interiors.
