Hexagon cloud on Saturn

Postby sparrow » Wed Apr 04, 2007 9:53 pm

Didn't know where to post this so here we are.

Any theories as to what would cause this:

Explanation: Why would clouds form a hexagon on Saturn? Nobody is yet sure. Originally discovered during the Voyager flybys of Saturn in the 1980s, nobody has ever seen anything like it anywhere else in the Solar System. If Saturn's South Pole wasn't strange enough with its rotating vortex, Saturn's North Pole might now be considered even stranger. The bizarre cloud pattern is shown above in a recent infrared image taken by the Saturn-orbiting Cassini spacecraft. The images show the stability of the hexagon even 20 years after Voyager. Movies of Saturn's North Pole show the cloud structure maintaining its hexagonal structure while rotating. Unlike individual clouds appearing like a hexagon on Earth, the Saturn cloud pattern appears to have six well defined sides of nearly equal length. Four Earths could fit inside the hexagon. Although full explanations are not yet available, planetary scientists are sure to continue to study this most unusual cloud formation for quite some time.

It's gotta be caused by global warming.

We need to tell the little green men to lay off their SUVs.

Hmmm...maybe, but I don't think SUVs cause a 48,000 mile wide hexagon.

Hey, global warming can do anything. Anything.

As long as it's bad.

ANYTHING?

Wow.

But really, what could cause that?

My first guess would be that it's a thermal bloom of some fashion.

i was wondering about that, too

but before that, i was wondering why the 12 bolt holes on the piper cub propeller my father gave me are in the shape of a hexagon instead of a circle, like the center of the propeller itself but i haven't been able to find anything.

i imagine the answer is " because it is simple and it works".

Four Earths could fit inside the hexagon.

saturn has tired of being known as the ringed planet. as if it is incapable of nothing else. so it staged a rebellion. and rounded one off. err, straightened one out. shortened the distance between one point and another.

who knows. maybe it's just a clever diversionary tactic.

Scientific American had a fun blog about it where they asked their readership to come up with a few theories:

http://blog.sciam.com/index.php?title=w ... b=1&cat=24

Some of my favorites:

It's a convection bubble caused by solar heating. The sun is hitting the south pole full force and will be doing so for another 8 years, so we see the hurricane eye. The eye is in reality a pucker of low pressure, just like hurricanes on Earth are low pressure points. The other pole is in perpetual night, so it is acting as a heat sink; high pressure zone. If our own planet didn't have surface features such as mountains, we would have convection hexagons over the north and south poles also


This really is a facinating phenomenon but its seems like there may be a much simpler answer. If you think about this in terms of angular momentum than you could imagine the storm as spinning in a regular circular path with an outside force pushing against it from six sides. This outside force could simply be atmospheric currents flowing from the equator due to temperature differentials.


Why isn't anyone making the connection with CYMATICS? Hans Jenny clearly demonstrates how sound wave energy or tones generate shapes. In the book "CYMATICS" ISBN# 1-888-13807-6, there are pictures on color slide# 86 clearly demonstration a 3 dimensional hexagon and color slide 121 a interlaced hexagon. On page 99 a slide shows another hexagon pattern generated by sound/frequencies. So what is the source of this energy generating this frequency on Saturn?


Astrologers, however, point out that the hexagon is always linked with the tribe of Israel, and the Neptune-Saturn opposition (which just started, peaks in June and fades by September) always hits the young nation-state with a whallop:

The Saturn/Neptune opposition is a repeating motif in Jewish history. It was there at the destruction of the Second Temple, which occurred during the reign of Emperor Titus in 70 AD, and inspired the legend of the suicide fortress that was Masada. It was on this mountain rock that modern Israeli army recruits took their oath of allegiance.

Saturn/Neptune has presided over the Arab wars, officially beginning April 15 1936 in rebellion against the western establishment of modern Israel. It was there when on September 13 1970 when four international jet airliners were hijacked by the PLO Black September, to protest the dispossessed Palestinians. We can safely assume that Saturn/Neptune will take the Arab/Israeli wars up to the next level.

Sounds like a safe assumption.

The tetrahedron is the most stable configuration in the universe.

Wthin it is the inside universe and beyond it is the outside universe.

Can't have one without the other.
