I always wanted to meet ... Klingons. I thought those were only on Uranus.

Those klingons come from the Dingleberry Galaxy

Hmmmm, perhaps you are right. If it was a pentagon then Katrina was Rumsfeld's fault too.

but now, where or what are the forces causing this. i.e. i don't see 6 other round things.

Lol! Okay, I get it! I did exclude fractals in my original post though. I promise I won't suggest otherwise again! =)

Could this Hexagonal structure be a manifestation Benzene?
To: anymouse
It's the aliens of course...the ones who built the face on mars.

I'd say it's a city-protecting force field put in place to allow the alien wasp people to colonize Saturn.
Nothing to see here.

Paging Sir Arthur C. Clarke.Actually, Richard Hoagland has been talking about this sort of phenomenon for years as part of some theory of "hyperdimensional physics".

"6 nearly equal sides is hard to get naturally, unless this is a giant fractal."The hexagonal close pack is what causes this. When deformable "things" are close packed, hexagons result. The thing, or item that's close packed in this case is a convection cell. If you've ever made coffee and didn't stir it so well, then let it sit motionless while it cools, you'd see hexagonal structures, especially if there was some powder like cocoa in it.
In this pic there are 2 components to the cloud. They don't mix very well. That's most likely, because the lighter stuff is condensing significantly. Nevertheless the dark stuff, that appears like voids, does not mix and is expanding and flowing out of the clouds. It is less dense and is coming out of the cloud with a much higher velocity. That means there's an effective tension in the bulk of the white stuff, which is the eqivalent to being "pushed" by the dark stuff. The direction of the convections in the pic are up and out, and as the stuff moves outward it slows and resists the outward flow of the stuff moving out from the center. The stuff that makes up the voids is probably hot normal atmosphere, that resulted when the plumes of cloud material condensed as it shot up. The condensation results in a large release of heat to the atmosphere.
