vortex pattern on Saturn's north pole

Here at Myrtle Street Labs I was conducting research for a different post, and stumbled upon this.

There is a gigantic hexagon on the north pole of Saturn. Its not apparent in the visible light spectrum, but the Cassini probe can image infrared radiation.

Apparently this isn’t even that strange. The earth has one, too. But its not nearly as pronounced, and the one on Saturn is about four earths across.
