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
Magic hexagon triangles that point downwards (no matter how large the T-hexagon). In the above example, Magic hexagon A magic hexagon of order "n" is an arrangement of numbers in a centered hexagonal pattern with "n" cells on each edge, in such a way that the numbers in each row, in all three directions, sum to the same magic constant "M". A normal magic hexagon contains the consecutive integers from 1 to 3"n" − 3"n" + 1. It turns out that normal magic hexagons exist only for "n" = 1 (which is trivial, as it is composed of only 1 hexagon) and
