Hey, check out this article about a strange hexegon shape on Saturn:
http://news.com.com/2300-11397_3-6171238-1.html

It's about 4 times bigger than the planet Earth o_O

...Interesting. Geometric shapes do tend to form in nature, even though we only think of circles, but you can even get squares in biology as well as geology (the right angle is not a man made artifice!). While hexagons are probably the easiest and most common geometric shape after circles that you find in the natural world, it's ttill amazing to see one on Saturn like this and at that size!
(although if it was smaller we wouldn't have seen it in the first place ^_^)

Here's a pic of it:

it's pretty cool and it fuels the imagination on what it could be.

i remember when they thought they found a face on mars and they made a movie out of it.

You know, Sub and Oz should make a "News" forum. Because they always have interesting news to discuss, that isn't DD related!

I learn more about current events from here then I do from the paper >>

that would be a cool lil forum.
i like to share all types of news with people.

this is cool

Here’s your chance to name something much bigger than a street after yourself.

TierneyLab hereby promises to name Saturn’s mysterious hexagon after the reader who comes up with the most entertaining explanation for this 15,000-mile wide feature at the planet’s north pole. NASA says it looks like clouds are whipping around a hexagaonal race track, but to me it doesn’t look anything like Nascar.

The best theory I’ve come up with so far, after brushing up on von Daniken’s “Chariots of the Gods,” is that it’s the Hex Nut of the Giants, affixed to the end of a massive bolt that’s holding the planet together. I haven’t worked out yet how a race of titanic engineers managed to insert the bolt at Saturn’s south pole. Nor have I identified the location of their hardware store, but we need to start looking for it right away, because NASA’s video shows that it’s swirling counterclockwise dangerously near what looks to me like the end of the bolt.

It's a cake mold!

I want to name the hexigon Jesus. So when people ask "whats that thing" someone will have to answer "Jesus". :)

lol!

here's my entry

Created by a multiverse faring civilization, the "hex" has been placed in many gas giants. The hex harvests energy created in the turbulent environment. Every 28.5 years they harvest the energy using a wormhole that opens in the apature of the hexagon structure. This can be observed by a periodic storm called "the great white spot".

If it was an image of Jesus someone would be selling it on Ebay. :-)

Well now if that doesn't prove the existance of God I don't know what does.

better watch out...someone's gonna make a cult out of that hexagon

It's the great architect! The Free Masons were right all along! o_O

I like that thing about an unscrewing hex nut :)
Ah.. too bad we're just a few days from the first of April... Maybe when it is the first of April they'll reveal it as a big joke? ^__^

Maybe it's an alien landing base?

Maybe it's an alien landing base?

four times the size of earth???? Those guys must be massive then O.O
Heh, closer up it wouldn't look so nice and neat... Just a blobby bunch of mountains.

I know!
It's the plug where Jesus recharges his iPod!

it...it was a mistake on my part. sorry guys.
Just something else i have to fix along with the platypus.

it's prolly the fact that Titan and Dione line up 6 times for every 1 time Titan orbits Saturn, maybe the combined gravity of the 2 moons is pulling the clouds into this formation over time !

what's wierd is that one of saturn's moon (Iapetus) has hexagonal craters


and if you look really close there are points in the middle of the craters


and some wierd protuberances..kinda like it was engineered

freakyyy

The dots are meteoroids. But maybe they should be called asteroids because they've never entered an atmosphere?
Who knows about the hex craters... Strange.

but... There are these wired shapes in the ground on earth that you get in icy areas. I can't remember what they're called, but they pop out of the ground in big geometric shapes- squares etc. May be something similar?

The ridge around the circumference looks like some kind of compression wave...? Maybe the moon was formed from two smaller moons smashing together?

right in the middle of some of the hexagons there is a structure
it's not like the craters on the moon where it is irregular.


there is a definite hexagonal pattern to Iapetus's craters.

that is the thing nasa is going to hit with that satelite?

I bet it's alien code for 'let's fuck around with the humans'

I bet it's Photoshop.

it's all adobe illustrator, css-- those images just reek of vector

jk jk

It's a bug.
Just contact your game master and he'll contact the admin.
It will be gone with the next patch.

Dear Dubya,

Please inform God of this problem.

Oh. MAN that's amazing. O__O;;
*Totally an excited kid when it comes to this kind of stuff*

I've always wanted to see extra terrestrial life... And stuff like this just gets me even more fired up. xD!!

Oh man oh man. I wanna know what it is~

maby it's saturn's ass hole.

maby it's saturn's ass hole.

THAT WOULD BE EPIC.
