My guess and it is merely a guess is that it has something to do with anti chaos. Order and patterns forming in disorderly systems. This can happen spontaneously and given the size of the Universe it seems likely such things occasionally happen on a huge scale in Giant systems if they can happen on a small scale in a gas cloud in a lab.

-FO!!

Now that IS interesting. Whatever causes the magnetic pole (its molten iron on earth) may have something to do with it. Its a gas planet after all and the magnetic forces may be different.

But is very unusual, is it there all the time or just a one off like a sheep in the clouds?

Here is another article about the hexagon:

Arthur C. Clarke got it wrong: it's not the Monolith from Jupiter that kickstarted human evolution; it's the Hexagon from Saturn (cue Thus Spake Zarathustra).

Seriously, that's just freaky! Who the hell seriously thinks hexagons just naturally appear on a planet?

Read Anti Chaos by Glick.

That's anti not auntie.

This is more proof that god exists.

Sigh, and what book of the Bible does he put hexagons on Saturn?

It's a big button that only god can push. He will push it at the end of the world.

Do you believe in God cap. Do you see him as a man and believe men are made in his godly image?

No. I see him as a giant gaseous hexagon that has chosen to make his home on Saturn.
