    One of the most bizarre weather patterns known has been photographed at Saturn, where astronomers have spotted a huge, six-sided feature circling the north pole.

    Linky


    That IS strange...(put in red room because to me it looks like a Cylon nipple).

    Clearly an alien vessel has taken temporary refuge on Saturn. For what reason, I couldn't say, but that is made by an intelligent lifeform, no doubt about that.

    if you spin a fluid right, they can develop into pentagonal, hexhagonal and heptagonal shapes.

    afaik no ones sure why yet

    Incoming message from Saturn follows...

    "ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT TITAN. ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE. USE THEM TOGETHER. USE THEM IN PEACE."

    I believe it happens when you spin a fluid all the way out of its container, and it starts out as a triangle, then a square, before becoming a pentagon, etc., all depending on the speed.

    Hexagonal shapes do not denote intelligence.

    The giant's causeway, near Portrush Co. Antrim, has a mass of hexagonal basalt columns, formed by volcanic activity aeons ago.
