APOD 2.6

This picture was very interesting to me because it shows the peculiar pattern at Saturn's north pole. The picture shows a hexagonal pattern made up of clouds. The article also has a link to a video of pictures from the Cassini satellite which orbits Saturn. The video is a time-lapse video of the north pole of Saturn. Astronomers still do not know what causes the hexagonal pattern on Saturn's north pole to form.
