Saturn's hexagon change in season. These changes were observed by the Cassini spacecraft. One hypothesis, developed at Oxford University, is that the hexagon forms where there is a steep latitudinal gradient in the speed of the atmospheric winds in Saturn's atmosphere. Similar regular shapes were created in the laboratory when a circular tank of liquid was rotated at different speeds at its centre and periphery. The most common shape was six sided, but shapes with three to eight sides were also produced. The shapes form in an area of turbulent flow between the two different rotating fluid bodies with dissimilar speeds. A
Hexagon Tower purchased Hexagon Tower on behalf of a pension fund client. LaSalle has turned the facility into a multi-let science park, accommodating a range of tenants from SMEs such as Colour Synthesis Solutions to multi-national firms, including Intertek. The site now consists of 157,283 sq ft of machine halls, laboratories and office space over 13 floors and a lower ground level with multi-purpose laboratory space. Hexagon Tower received an International Standards Organisation certification for its environmental responsibility in January 2014.
