Believe it or not, this is Saturn's North Pole

APOD: 2012 January 22 - Believe it or not, this is Saturn's North Pole

"It is unclear how an unusual hexagonal cloud system that surrounds Saturn's north pole was created, keeps its shape, or how long it will last. Originally discovered during the Voyager flybys of Saturn in the 1980s, nobody has ever seen anything like it elsewhere in the Solar System."
