Saturn's Hexagonal Polar Storm

“Looking straight down at Saturn's north pole hexagon. The mysterious hexagonal jet stream encloses an area larger than Earth in stable six-sided geometry, a central polar vortex spins like a hurricane eye in deep red and gold, the hexagon's walls churn at 320 km/h, ammonia clouds flow in fractal swirls beyond, and the rings cut a bright line across the horizon.”
