In the atmosphere of Saturn about 30 years ago scientists found a spot of enormous size, having the shape of a hexagon.

During the latest observations they found that the cloud inexplicably changed its colour.

Hexagonal spot in the planet’s atmosphere is located on the Northern tip of Saturn.

It is for the entire period of its opening does not change shape and is the most inexplicable and surprising phenomena that exist in the Solar system. Spot is a structure, which has an area of 32 thousand square kilometers.

While at the height of the hexagonal formation “immersed” in the atmosphere of a planet is about 100 kilometers. The strange behavior scientists have noticed almost immediately after the discovery of this phenomenon. Each of the sections of the hexagon has rotational motion relative to the center of the cloud.

Its speed is approximate equal to that with which Saturn rotates around its own axis. However, the mysteries did not end there. When researchers compared photographs of the spot taken by the Cassini spacecraft in September of this year, with those that were made in November 2012, they, to their surprise, noted a hexagon for some strange reason, changed its color.

Four years ago, he was a bluish color, and now has become Golden. Consensus about the causes of such behavior there is no spot. Some scientists believe the phenomenon of colour change is related to the change of seasons on Saturn and the approaching summer solstice. Other researchers try to explain this to other natural phenomena, or even the impact of extraterrestrial intelligence.
