NASA’s Cassini Images Hexagon At Saturn’s North Pole

An odd six-sided honeycomb shaped feature circling the entire north pole of Saturn has captured the interest of scientists with NASA’s Cassini mission. NASA’s Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft imaged the feature over two decades ago. The fact that it has appeared in Cassini images indicates that it is a long-lived feature. A second hexagon, significantly brighter historical feature, is also visible in the Cassini pictures.
