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
Plane of rotation two points, one on each of the planes. A double rotation has two angles of rotation, one for each plane of rotation. The rotation is specified by giving the two planes and two non-zero angles, and (if either angle is zero the rotation is simple). Points in the first plane rotate through , while points in the second plane rotate through . All other points rotate through an angle between and , so in a sense they together determine the amount of rotation. For a general double rotation the planes of rotation and angles are unique, and given a general
