Saturn has this hexagon.....

As this unusual atmospheric feature has finally grabbed the attention of the press another interesting mystery has cropped up. Planetary scientists and astronomers have decided that they can not accurately discern the rate of rotation of Saturn. Since no surface features were visible, a radio method was employed which resulted resulted in a technical problem because of the one of Saturn's Moons.

What does the length of a Saturnian day have do with its weather? As it turns out, some of Saturn's Helium is in the super fluid phase. And as such will actually spawn evenly spaced vortexes while undergoing rotation. This has been observed with dewers of liquid helium right here on Earth. Amazingly, this stuff does not just simply begin to swirl in a bucket as normal fluid would do, but instead it actually forms a matrix of vortexes in a hexagonal arrangement. The distance between these vortexes seems to be a function of angular velocity. Perhaps, we now have a physical way of measuring the length of a day on Saturn? - Also, maybe a wormhole will be found there...lol . That will be another post perhaps...

I invite folks to search super fluid, and rotation to to see just what a bizarre material liquid helium can be.

Isn't the plural of vortex....vortices?
