something strange has been going with saturn..apparently for a while now. anybody else up on this? or am I just extremely late?
Stare into the soul of Saturn’s mysterious hexagonal cloud system
Feast your eyes on one of the most puzzling planetary mysteries our solar system has to offer. In this photograph of Saturn's north pole, captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft in 2009, clouds can be seen encircling the planet at about 77 degrees north latitude. Even at such a high parallel, the massive six-sided jet stream has a diameter more than twice that of Earth's.
How did such a cloud system form, and where did it acquire the energy to do so? These are the kinds of questions scientists investigating the planet's perplexing hexagon are faced with — but one of the biggest questions of all is how the system has managed to retain its surprisingly symmetrical shape for so long, even while whipping around the planet at upwards of 200 miles per hour.
"The longevity of the hexagon makes this something special, given that weather on Earth lasts on the order of weeks," explains Kunio Sayanagi, a Cassini imaging team associate at Cal Tech [this curious cloud pattern was first observed by NASA's Voyager spacecraft over thirty years ago]. "It's a mystery on par with the strange weather conditions that give rise to the long-lived Great Red Spot of Jupiter."

so what do you think it is? a hyperdimensional stargate perhaps?
saturn has been worshipped in the occult for thousands of years. the cult has never stopped and its rites are still present to this day. Saturn, AKA the “Lord of the Rings”, is the reason why we exchange rings at weddings or put halos on the heads of godly people; the reason why we celebrate christmas and fukk eachother in the ass during the holidays (oh wait, that was the romans ). oh saturn, what is going on with you? your mysteries intrigue me
