Tropical cyclones need the Coriolis effect to rotate. Near the equator that force is too weak, so storms almost never form there, and none have ever crossed it. 70 years of data make it clear.

Did you know @museband’s “Hexagons” channels one of the solar system’s strangest geometries? Saturn’s massive north polar hexagon, a six-sided jet stream wider than Earth, is the perfect cosmic inspiration.

Mark your calendar! Halley’s Comet left us a cosmic souvenir, and the Orionids peak overnight from Oct 21–22, 2026. Look toward Orion after midnight for the best view! ☄️ 📷 Ben Goldstein
