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.
"This is a very strange feature, lying in a precise geometric fashion with six nearly equally straight sides," said Kevin Baines, atmospheric expert and member of Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "We've never seen anything like this on any other planet. Indeed, Saturn's thick atmosphere where circularly-shaped waves and convective cells dominate is perhaps the last place you'd expect to see such a six-sided geometric figure, yet there it is."

But check out our South Pole:
I believe these geometrical formations hold an important key to understanding reality and our universe. These same geometrical patterns can be seen everywhere in the microcosm, macrocosm, and in nature:
Cymatics anyone?
I think Cymatics goes a long way to demystifying crop circles as well
Theres so much more to show you but ill end my post with that. I dont want to have this too long and lose your intrest. More coming soon though!

haha, im also into this stuff love the sound video, really really cool
check this video out, its a video of fractals that you apparently see when ur taking shrooms, never took shrooms myself yet but the video is cool anyways

Is that really a hexagon, what you drew round our south pole? :O
^_^

i love this kinda stuff. tehres def more to everything than meets the eye and some ppl just accept whats in plain view. want something interesting to read about check out the cydonia complex on mars and how it corresponds to our pyramids n such. its mad interesting. also get back to me n lemme know whatcha think.
love the sound video, really really cool
