Hexagon partitioned into six equilateral triangles. Like squares and equilateral triangles, regular hexagons fit together without any gaps to "tile the plane" (three hexagons meeting at every vertex), and so are useful for constructing tessellations. The cells of a beehive honeycomb are hexagonal for this reason and because the shape makes efficient use of space and building materials. The Voronoi diagram of a regular triangular lattice is the honeycomb tessellation of hexagons. It is not usually considered a triambus, although it is equilateral. The maximal diameter (which corresponds to the long diagonal of the hexagon), "D", is twice the maximal radius
Hexagon Sun it is simply a title for the band's recording studio. It is believed by their fans that Hexagon Sun has held parties in the past, which may be how the collective originally formed. These get-togethers were soon known as "Redmoon" events, after the occurrence during one such party of a lunar eclipse which colors the moon red.. Hexagon Sun's presence on the Internet has been limited to its website, hexagonsun.com, which until 2005 when it redirected to boardsofcanada.com, was simply a small graphic of mirrored turquoise-color text on a blue background. When reflected, the text reads "the internet is evil.
