Saturn hexagon ... CLASS LESSON 27 years ago, scientists from around the world extremely surprised view of the hexagonal clouds on Saturn. Photos of the object provided the spacecraft Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 Scientists then could not say anything about the causes of this amazing phenomenon. Moreover still can not explain the nature of the phenomenon, especially after the recent pictures, which provided the Cassini spacecraft. Photos show the durability of the structure after all, it's been over a quarter century ...

mysterious structure provided by Voyager.
floating close to Saturn's Cassini spacecraft has provided new images of the planet's north pole. It turns out that a hexagon made up of clouds, in spite of 27 years, is still here.
Cassini probe sent to Earth amazing pictures of Saturn. It turns out that one of the poles of the planet on the planet (that is, in principle, in the clouds) has created a symmetrical, hexagonal structure.

Are you sure that this cloud?
Watching the film posted on the network by NASA (see illustration below) you will notice that the hexagonal structure of the film revolves around 40 degrees which gives a one ninth of 360 degrees. It indicates the information that the video in real time takes more than an hour at the market during the period of Saturn on its axis about 10.5 hours, lets say that the hexagonal structure of clouds but it's not something that is below them and it seems pretty stable, something that rotates with the same angular velocity as the planet, the more stable that even the Voyager spacecraft photographed the structure, not to mention the fact that attribute to the ancient symbol of Saturn hexagon (the Star of David), which therefore does not appear to the discovery of mere accident.

puzzling structure on the pole of Saturn
What is more interesting in recent days, scientists have discovered the north pole of Saturn's mysterious aurora, which appears and disappears at regular intervals. It differs significantly from the usual phenomena of this kind, recorded on other planets.
Tom Stallard, University of Leicester reported that the aurora borealis, as this, scientists have never seen so far. This is no ordinary auroral ring, which can be observed on Jupiter and the Earth. It covers a vast area of \u200b\u200bthe pole. "According to our existing notions about how to shape the auroras on Saturn, this region should be empty, and therefore the observation that the bright dawn of this place is a wonderful surprise for us "- says Stallard.
Aurora over hexagonal formation at the poles of Saturn.
aurora on the planet, similar to the phenomena on Jupiter, the first time I saw Tom Stallard and his colleagues. Unusual phenomenon on Saturn is, however, an unusual character: the shining an infrared aurora sometimes fills the area above the 82 degree north latitude, reaching even to the pole. Aurora also has all the time - in the 45-minute intervals - Changes, or even disappears.
Personally, I think the solution structure of the artificial ... just who is responsible for this ...?
