NxtUp...Saturn

WTF is that?

Astronomers have spotted a hexagon-shaped feature on Saturn’s north pole.

“This is a very strange feature, lying in a precise geometric fashion with six nearly equally straight sides,” said a team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

The hexagon is nearly 15,000 miles across. Nearly four Earths could fit inside it. The thermal imagery shows the hexagon extends about 60 miles down into the clouds.
