Nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.

It looks like the ripple from a drop of water. Does the storm have a ridge (the highlighted area) that forms the boundary of the hex?

Thats the bolt that keeps it on its axis (not really)

Still looks incredible. Pictures of other planets never cease to amaze me. The amount of engineering and technology that went into the whole mission is astounding.

That's because of the influx of whirling dervishes at the pole.

I love that, though it's not as weird as you might think

they just didnt expect us to look that close to their skybox

No lies detected!! Well, regarding the first post, I don’t think it’s a “storm”….the cyclonic storm at the pole, and the hexagonal feature at high latitude, are distinctly driven and probably don’t interact

The amazing part, to me, is that this is just what you get when you wrap a sine wave (with the right amplitude) around a circle

Are you telling me that a gas company that handles gas in possibly a not so well ventilated room has odd ideas about geometric shapes on extraterrestrial planets?

Worryingly, it could also be... waiting...

well.... maybe they want a whisky and sit by a open fire and discuss the wonders of the universe or could be a cry for help

The plot only takes six lines.

Its a distraction! Airgas is up to something

Do they use that sign to share other scientific facts or other information?

how can a local gas supplier compete with that?

add…”and Uranus rolls on its side!”

I hate seeing infighting in the gas community

The Santa on Saturn likes hexagons?

I discovered a couple weeks ago that somehow my wife had never come across this bizarre fact so we had a nice opportunity to nerd out together which is always fun.

Can't trust giant shapes in space

Airgas is making a compelling argument that most businesses are not putting their signboards to best uses

Saturn has a pole?

Reminds me of the local self-service car wash where I grew up that spent equal amounts of time using their sign to post uplifting spiritual messages alongside exhortations to clean your car

right? like birdseye frozen vegetables

Good safety tip

Weird, science-obsessed kids everywhere taking heart that they, too, might someday have a platform.

Oh hey I recognize that sign, here is a message from September 2025

they were 100% right to do it

KUBRICK REVIVE DEAD ON MARS

Dang it, why can I never find my largest Allen wrench when I need it?

Impressive…

The player just has that hex highlighted in their 4X game

Its the Andromeda Strain. IYKYK.😏

We get hexagons occurring naturally in tiny snowflakes, Jupiter gets gigantic storms!

Hexagonal Dundee

*Bill & Ted "whoa" meme to the nth power*

I think so, storms on top of storms. Jupiter’s and Saturn’s layers of atmosphere are insanity

It's too big, i cannot like it

The earth is the banana of the solar system, kids

I found it like this

AT LEAST five

Around 19 billion bananas. Hope that helps! 🍌
