Six-sided Storm on Saturn

I don't have anything witty to say about this image. It's just very cool. This "feature" is located over the north pole of Saturn and it was recently photographed by the Cassini-Huygens mission in 2006. Voyager observed the same pattern back in the early 1980s.

For any "Battlestar Galactica" viewers, this looks more like the mystical mandala than that crazy storm from the Maelstrom episode.

Yes, I know that "Lost" is supposed to be the greatest television show but I just can't get into it. Is it sci-fi? Soap opera? Satire?
