Its weird how strait the edges are.
The world is round... so you have to use spherical projection.

If you could stand in Saturn's Atmosphere and look at that Hexagon you would see those clouds turn the corners at 500 mph/ 804.65 kph or 733.3333333333334 Feet per Second, just an aside.

spinning
hexagon is a bit weird. Spinning usually implies spherical or heading there anyway.
Maybe magnetic fields and and polarized dust ....he said while his head spun !
