The source of its heat is a mystery. It's no mystery. Everyone knows that Saturn has elected republicans for years. It was only a matter of time before the oil-drilling, tax-cuts for SUV drivers, and military actions on behalf of Halliburton caused this kind of massive climate change. People of Earth must learn from the mistakes of the Republican party on Saturn.

The hexagon looks like a processing artifact. It's a shadow line. Those whacky yoots have stolen the stop sign again!

It's not, I've seen it in at least a half a dozen other photos in different colour bands.
This is the Jet Propulsion Lab's release on this phenomenon.

With all the Iowa stories today, for a moment I thought this was an article about some Iowa State University co-eds.

i prefer the gases flow outImportant as a general rule, but especially critical in the case of Uranus.

The hexagon looks like a processing artifact.Could you expand on that idea? I'm thinking you might be right.
To: AntiKev
Hexagons are a pretty "parsimonious" shape -- they appear in nature a lot, as they provide the optimal "packing" arrangement.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that we're seeing the intersection between a series of longitudinally distributed high-latitude cyclonic disturbances caused by something like shear effects between atmostpheric layers, or something like that.
