when you compare this picture of the north pole to the south pole of saturn
(where the "giant eye"resides)it makes you realise how little we know about the gas giants!is there any magnetic field known,(or any other natural phenomenon?)that can create such a hexigon,or such an "eye"???are there any other gas giants that have such bizarre shapes around their polar regions? so many new mysteries,every week,from probes,etc,&SO little time!
