geometria saturnina

"After years of waiting for the Sun to illuminate Saturn's North Pole again, cameras aboard NASA's Cassini spacecraft have captured the most detailed images yet of the fascinating hexagon shape crowning the planet. The new images of the hexagon, whose shape is the path of a jet stream flowing around the North Pole, reveal concentric circles, curlicues, walls, and streamers not seen in previous images."-NASA
