Thanks Akira :) Ya, I have a bad habit of sometimes not being very clear. I was speaking of that hex shape??? Things like that fascinate me. ;) Will |

| It fascinates me too. Why is geometry so deeply embedded in our reality? |

"The 6th century BCE Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras believed that geometry was the rational understanding of God, man, and nature: Many of the shape meanings in western philosophies arise from his writings." This might interest you. Or not. |

a bit reactive, non? "But an image shared May 2 on Facebook that claims to be the “closest image to Saturn we have ever gotten” isn’t one of them. It is an artist's concept. The image shows part of Cassini in the foreground, with layers of clouds blanketing the planet. Its rings rise from the horizon before disappearing off the top of the frame." How is that description anything like what I posted? |

NASA's Cassini spacecraft captured this image of Saturn's north polar vortex and surrounding hexagonal jet stream on Jan. 22, 2017, from a distance of about 560,00 miles (900,000 kilometers). (Image credit: NASA/JPL- Caltech/Space Science Institute) |
