9 Strangest Things Floating Around In Our Solar System
7. Saturns Hexagon
As if Saturn wasn't spectacular enough already, with its beautiful rings and incredible aurora, it's also got a bizarre hexagonal storm raging at its north pole. The phenomenon was first discovered by the Voyager probe back in the 1980s, and has since been snapped in stunning detail by Cassini. They say that there are no straight lines in nature, but it looks like there sure is some geometric precision. Although the hexagon still isn't fully understood, scientists have managed to recreate it in the lab, using some basic principles of fluid dynamics. This goes a long way to explain the forces at work behind Saturn's geometric pole. Because of the seemingly "unnatural" shape of Saturn's polar storm, some of the conspiracy theories that have popped up around it are pretty breathtaking, ranging from everything from alien structures to illuminati symbolism. It's amazing stuff if you fancy a chuckle. Just in case you were wondering whether the hexagon was some kind of illuminati conspiracy, take a look at this one created in a lab. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_c9A9Auf0A
