- toolow, on 10/10/2007, -4/+69I wish we had rings around our planet.
- iepurilah, on 10/10/2007, -7/+69Maybe that's Saturn's Pentagon :D
- Zreitan, on 10/10/2007, -10/+50I, for one, welcome our new polygonal overlords.
- maddla, on 10/10/2007, -3/+36Perhaps it's an interstellar Stop Sign telling us to go away?
- Bartboy919, on 10/10/2007, -6/+39Old news, Everyone knows Xenu went on vacation to Saturn's north pole, that is just his ship.
- tehpwnrate, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26In Soviet Russia, Digg blocks you!
- TitanX13, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22umm 6th side must be for the space wing of their military
- Chameleongoo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17It's disturbing to see that kind of shape on such a monumental scale, much less in nature period. WTF?
- themastersb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16lets blow up the moon and get a ring
- ilikesboobs, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Not on Saturn, they aren't, you stupid monkey!
- monomyth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15And 30 moons too.
- amoo3, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17Aliens!
- georgetds, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14All these planets are yours except Europa...
- Namco, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16In Soviet Russia, Digg implement YOU!
...Don't tase me bro! - bravo1995, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13But it doesn't look like a DC-10, only with rocket engines.
- Frostman3D, on 10/10/2007, -5/+17Do you feel superior now that you've spoiled our fun? ;)
- igraham09, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Stop signs are octagons...
- jcaino, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13but....what does it all mean?
- BossKey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11we were all expecting a rectangular monolith!
- MagicCake, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11I don't remember the details at all, but I remember reading something about that. The shape actually does occur in nature. They made it happen in a bucket of water by spinning some disc in the bottom, and realized it happens in cloud formations or something as well. Sorry for not knowing more about it... I'm sure someone can provide a link.
- nakile, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13It's V'ger!
- lazyrussian, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1030 moons? As a physicist I'm scared as how I would go about calculating the forces exerted by and on each moon between themselves and the earth. The three body problem is hard enough, and yet to be solved...but thirty, wow.
I'll take 1, thank you. - Legato, on 10/10/2007, -9/+19obligatory "my god, its full of stars" comment
- Dumbledorito, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Well, if we start grinding up the moon now...
- kingfoot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10well technically we do have a ring. they are so thin, and so not densely packed, it isnt even visible with the naked eye. but it might be thickening with all the debris we are putting into orbit.
- gamerscalling, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Naw, I think 3 would be plenty. More is just over kill.
- felidaeus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Just pray there's no equivalent CIA
- enlightenme, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8most likely explanation, spinning hexagon alien base
- ChileanGoD, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7goodbye tides, solar eclipses and werewolves
- DestroyFascism, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9In Soviet Russia I can get drunk for as little as 4 dollars..
- Namco, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9You mean "That's no moon!"
- Frostman3D, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9*****' A
- RockLobstah, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8That's.. rather frightening somehow. And quite awesome.
- MagicCake, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Here, I found it: http://www.nature.com/news/2006/060515/full/060515 ...
It actually mentions this exact thing about Saturn, and they say it's probably unrelated, haha... Anyway, there's the link. - r3bol, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6The death star has cleared the planet.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7breathtaking...
- BossKey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Make your time.
- Thadster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Its a result of global warming here on earth...
- squegie, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6My ex-girlfriend works near Pentagon City and felt the ground shake when the plane hit the Pentagon. Later that same day, she saw what very much looked like a plane crashed into the Pentagon. For some reason, she doesn't believe that the Pentagon was destroyed by missiles, rockets, or in fact anything that is not a plane. She believes this despite vague rumors and posting that hint at another explanation. Strange.
- FresnoRog, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Gar, the link was cut off.
http://www.nature.com/news/2006/060515/full/060515 ... - kholburn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Lucky it wasn't a seven sided hexagon.
- ZiggityZhang, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8I felt superior when I buried it.
- Godlesswanderer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I can deal with the tides and eclipses but god dammit, I want my werewolves!
- Dumbledorito, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6d20?
- iamafatguy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Emigrate!
- MercedRocks, on 10/10/2007, -4/+92010?
- TheOneGreatX, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7My God....It's full of stars!
- Tetraca, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Well, it was new on the 27th of March, 2007...
- Frnnkdlxx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I was thinking the same thing you lazy Ruskie. This would HAVE to be a gas giant to support 30 moons and if not, we'd simply cease to be a planetoid and instead be the asteroid belt...
- djphatjive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4God damn there is so much we don't know!
