Hexagon on Saturn

This is interesting:
One of the most bizarre weather patterns in the solar system has been photographed at Saturn, where astronomers have spotted a huge, six-sided feature circling the north pole.
Rather than the normally sinuous cloud structures seen on all planets that have atmospheres, this thing is a hexagon.
The honeycomb feature has been seen before. NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft imaged it more than two decades ago. Now, having spotted it with the Cassini spacecraft, scientists conclude it is a long-lasting oddity.

I wonder how long it'll take before they know anything definite.
Hexagons are very easy to form in nature, it's not surprising to see one.

It's probably nothing. Just a huge alien base or something equally mundane.

That's just so fucking cool.... thanks for posting this. Why isn't it on BBC or anywhere else?
... so you got an Eye on the south pole and a Hexagon formation on the North...
an Eye and a Sphincter...
this has to be God's form of a joke... :D

Pretty much what I was thinking. Clearly they're just establishing themselves in this solar system before they launch their invasion of Earth.

I don't know why, but before I saw the picture I was picturing a six-sided star and not a hexagon. I feel like a fool. :(

Yeah, but in clouds? when was the last time you saw a six-sided cloud?

That, and one of the scientists said:
"We've never seen anything like this on any other planet. Indeed, Saturn's thick atmosphere, where circularly shaped waves and convective cells dominate, is perhaps the last place you'd expect to see such a six-sided geometric figure, yet there it is."

Dude, they're already here. On Long Island.
The two other areas where these winged reptilians have been most often reported are of course below Dulce, New Mexica and also within the 8-levelled underground system beneath Camp Hero near Montauk Point, Long Island where a joint Nazi [American Corporate & European Militant Nazi's], Gray, and Reptiloid base exists... one that reportedly connects to the ITT center in New Jersey. The common denominator would be the German Krupp family who built munitions plants for Adolph Hitler and not only maintains a large percentage of control over ITT but also helped to finance the 'Montauk' time-space-mind-control projects for the Bavarian Thule Society, which are continuing within the M.A.L.T.A. or Montauk-Alsace-Lorraine-Time-Archives facility within the Alsace-Lorraine Mts. near the French-German border. The Alsace-Lorraine regions were taken from France in the Franco-Prussian war of the previous century and later returned to France by the Allies following the end of W.W.II.

That's just their spies infiltrating our society. The Saturn base is for the invasion proper.

I think it'd be pretty cool to send probes down into the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn. Y'know, for laughs.

We already did Jupiter...
And didn't they send a probe to Titan?

Get six circles together around a seventh, a hexagon forms. It's odd, but not exactly impossible to imagine.

Yeah, but Jupiter doesn't have weirdo hexagons and hurricane eyes at it's poles. It'd look really cool to film the descent into Saturn's eye. And when did they send a probe into the atmosphere of Jupiter, anyway? I don't remember that...

The Galileo spacecraft launched a probe into Jupiter, it was the first time that was done.

Yep, plus there's already too many squares on this planet. Vive la differénce I say. :p

To hell with that! I'm sending Rei down to Terminal Dogma to get the Lance.

The answer is quite simple:
There's a Hexagon at the top and a round at the bottom. It's quite clearly the cosmic allen bolt that hold Saturn in place in its orbit. Just the atmosphere is wearing thin so we can see it now.

An interesting paper, published in 2006, titled "Polygons on a Rotating Fluid Surface," in which a team of physicists writes about creating stable polygons in rotating fluids in the laboratory. The important result of this study is that you can create stable, rotating polygonal shapes in rotating fluids in the laboratory. Saturn has its own way of doing it -- now the atmospheric physicists just have to figure out how!

My vote goes to the cosmic bolt theory...The Solar System is a DIY project.

Too bad we don't have all of the neo-Nazis around any more, so that they could go on and on about how the Jews control Saturn...
No, I take it back. It's not too bad after all.

Fry: Listen to me! You don't want to lie in bed like a vegetable and do nothing the rest of your life. I've tried it. Bedsores hurt!
..
Leela: I'll find Fry's coffin, get his corpse, and keep it under my mattress to remind me that he's really dead. That'll prove I'm not insane!
..
Amalgamated Priest: It will comfort you to know that Fry's death only took 15 seconds but the pain was so intense it felt to him like 15 years. And it goes without saying it caused him to empty his bowels.
