Found this story and thought it was bizarre and really intriguing. Natural things like this don't normally come in shapes like this, it looks to me like something is CAUSING it to be that shape - maybe a MASSIVE (MASSIVE!!) hexagonal object, intelligently created?


Cassini Images Bizarre Hexagon on Saturn
March 27, 2007

Pasadena, Calif. -- An odd, six-sided, honeycomb-shaped feature circling the entire north pole of Saturn has captured the interest of scientists with NASA's Cassini mission.

NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft imaged the feature over two decades ago. The fact that it has appeared in Cassini images indicates that it is a long-lived feature. A second hexagon, significantly darker than the brighter historical feature, is also visible in the Cassini pictures. The spacecraft's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer is the first instrument to capture the entire hexagon feature in one image.

Sorry to sound sceptical but geometric shapes are quite common in nature, crystals form very geometric shapes quite naturally. Still, a hexagonal polar vortex does sound quite odd, I will look forward to the theories on how it could form! :)

Oh yes, I know geometric shapes abound in nature, someone even pointed out the hexagonal shapes on Irelands Giant's Causeway (which are also on the cover of Led Zep's "Houses of the Holy" album).

But a hexagonal WIND is a different proposition surely? Again, to an uneducated layman like me, it looks as though the only thing that would make avortex/wind rotate in such a way would be if it's going round a massive hexagonal OBJECT. Which could be natural, but it seems so incredibly bizarre to me!
