Saturn's Strange Hexagon Recreated In the Lab
cremeglace writes "Saturn boasts one of the solar system's most geometrical features: a giant hexagon encircling its north pole. Though not as famous as Jupiter's Great Red Spot, Saturn's Hexagon is equally mysterious. Now researchers have recreated this formation in the lab using little more than water and a spinning table—an important first step, experts say, in finally deciphering this cosmic mystery. More details, including a cool demo video, at ScienceNOW."
When will they solve the mystery of the inflamed ring around Uranus?
They started with Preperation A and have made it up to Preparation F now, but they figure another couple tries and they'll have it licked.
That is all.
You describe that and I immediately think of a similar scenario where life in animals and our bodies exists naturally apart from it happening with a Prime Mover orchestrating the evolution. It makes my jaw drop to consider that happening without a Prime Mover, but for that the internet metaphorically stones me.
