- bravesoul2 1y agoFrom a simulation? NVidia had come a long way since you made the bet.
- sandworm101 1y agoNo. From the realwold cyclonic storms of Saturn and Jupiter that form unnatural-looking polygons at their poles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn%27s_hexagon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn%27s_hexagon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter%27s_South_Pole https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter%27s_South_Pole
- bravesoul2 1y agoThat is fascinating. Next bet is if Saturn's hexagon will change into another n-agon in our lifetime. Obviously we'd need a probe to check.

- svachalek 1y agoHa. I wonder what solar scientists were expecting here, how surprising would it have been if the sun did have polygonal storms like the gas giants?
