Mar 28, 2014 Is the strange polygon at Saturn’s north pole a fluid dynamics phenomenon? In November 1980, the Voyager 1 spacecraft, now billions of kilometers away from Earth near the Sun’s heliospheric boundary, flew by Saturn. At that time, it recorded an astonishing image, a hexagonal formation in the…
The famous hexagon at Saturn’s north pole has perplexed scientists since its discovery since the form is not seen in any other planetary atmosphere. In recent years, simple fluidic experiments on Earth have succeeded in producing a hexagonal structure, providing an explanation that planetary scientists have heretofore favored. However, recent…
May 30, 2018 Electricity influences Saturn’s environment. The picture at the top of the page could be mistaken for recent images of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. However, the swirling vortex is actually located in the center of Saturn’s vast, hexagonal north polar formation. Hexagons and other polygons can sometimes…

Dec 02, 2014 Some galaxies exhibit polygonal structures. The term “diocotron instability” is not generally well known. Its use is confined to the field of plasma physics and refers to the distortions that occur when two sheets of plasma flow past each other. It is often confused with the Kelvin-Helmholtz…

Space discovery has served as the ideal testing ground for the theoretical predictions of Wal Thornhill and the Electric Universe Model, as well as the discipline of plasma cosmology. These predictions become more powerful when juxtaposed against failed predictions and endless surprises of the gravity-centric Standard Model. Independent researcher,…
Original Post July 04, 2012 The light is there but astrophysics is slow to catch up to it Over its considerable lifetime NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has collected a vast number of observations concerning the planet Saturn. Saturn, like the other gas giants in the Solar System, has energetic jet streams…
October 2, 2020 The Solar System was chaotic a few thousand years ago. The features on all the moons and rocky planets support that idea. How many thousands of years ago that chaos occurred isn’t important, since it is not millions of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years…
