It's the Markovians

...okay, only those familiar with Jack L. Chalker will get the reference. But I can't help but keep thinking it when we keep finding hexagonal storms on Saturn.

Storms are just not supposed to be hexagonal! On any planet! And we have no idea why, either. It's clearly a wave structure created by similar forces that make the jet stream (and those infamous polar vortices) on Earth...but hexagonal?

Sorry.

It's not actually aliens, obviously, but...dang it.
