cm0002See the First-Ever Direct Images of the Sun's South Pole, Captured by the Solar Orbiter Spacecraft
bbbbbbbbbbbWhy is it only now that I realize Ive only seen the poles of 1 planet and 1 pole of the sun. I really want to see the other 7 planets and Pluto now
Check out Saturn, it’s poles are rad as heck
Captain AggravatedIs there a known regular hexagon larger than the one on Saturn?
There’s just the one, right on its north pole.
Yeah, that regular hexagon is something like twice the Earth’s diameter on a side, it’s enormous. I was wondering if we know of a regular hexagon larger than that anywhere in the known universe?
It’s a bit like, is the Titanic the largest manmade object ever accidentally broken in half?
Do Lagrange points count? I guess it’s only 4 of the 6 points of a hexagon, with the smaller mass, and the L3, L4 and L5 points forming the 4 points
I don’t think so, as you point out only 4 points are defined, and…I’m sure you could find like six stars around the rim of a galaxy that are equidistant and go “these form a regular hexagon 40,000 light years to a side” No I’m think I’ll restrict it to a structure that through some force more compelling than random happenstance has formed itself into a hexagon.
