The radius of the hexagon is approximately 8,600 miles, with a rotation period of 10:39:24. While a variety of explanations have been offered for the hexagon, It is generally thought to be some sort of standing wave phenomenon generated by differences in wind speed around the pole. </p> Wed, 14 Apr 2010 03:08:53 +0000 https://hexnet.org/content/saturn-hexagon-cassini https://hexnet.org/content/saturn-hexagon-cassini
