Hello,



What in the universe is causing the huge hexagon at the pole of Saturn?

The prediction from Professor Caldrail is that the hexagon is a result of electro/magnetic fields emanating from crystalline formations in the metallic core. You heard it here first.

Magnetic fields mostly effect metal, do they not? How could winds in the 150 m.p.h. or more velocity (some scientists say up to 300) be bent like that? Is there iron dust in the atmosphere to allow this?

I believe that the scientists and engineers are already talking about a probe to be sent to that hexagon to analyze the composition and strength of these things.

This might be a sort of lighthouse of extraterrestrial intelligence which purpose is to attract the attention of mankind .

Remember A.C. Clarke novel The Space Odyssey

Magnetic fields affect anything with an electrical charge. After all, the Earths magnetic field fends off the solar wind, without which our atmosphere would be diminishing rapidly like Mars.

PS - No, I have no idea why Venus retains its thick atmosphere, but since Venus does lose CO2 to the solar wind, it would be interesting to discover how much of that has been reaching Earth.

There are many profound mysteries in our solar system.

Like why I can't get a job, or why David Cameron thinks winning a game of tennis justifies a knighthood to the winner, or why Top Gear don't mount an automotive coup and run Britain in the true sportsmanlike manner it deserves, or why Britain still thinks the second world war has just ended, and so on.
