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.

A 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 !
