Jovian polar regions are not visible from Earth owing to Jupiter’s low axial tilt, and were poorly characterized by previous missions because the trajectories of these missions did not venture far from Jupiter’s equatorial plane.

Since November, the probe has been climbing higher relative to Saturn’s equatorial plane, providing a new vantage point on the planet’s outer rings.

Most are slightly inclined relative to that midline, moving above their sun’s equatorial plane at one part of their orbit and below it at another.

When a charged particle bounces from one magnetic pole to the other, it must cross the equatorial plane of Saturn.

The Earth orbits the sun more or less in the flat, staying roughly in the sun’s equatorial plane.
