Saturn’s Hexagon

This is a view of Saturn’s north polar region, taken by Cassini’s Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on February 26, 2013. You can see the rings in the top of this image as well as its mysterious hexagon. — Val Klavans

It wouldn’t shock me if sticking cameras in clever places turned out to be the apex of human ingenuity. And it kind of would surprise me if we came up with anything better during what remains of my lifetime.

Good job, little robot. You’ve made me proud.
