saturns hexagon

the north pole of Saturn: A long-lived double hexagon formed in the clouds.
the unexplained hexagons was glimpsed before, by the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts more than 20 years ago,
Cassini has since confirmed it is still there. it is weired and can't be explained.
At the south pole we have what
appears to be a hurricane with a giant eye, and at the north pole of Saturn we
have this hexagon feature.
