    That's an equalateral triangle?, hexagons are 120 degrees? Interior angles

    To be honest I would have thought the fact that they exist is more interesting. Chaotic weather systems don't do perfect hexagons but magnetism does this form with 120 degree angles.

    Hadn't thought about the difference between inner and outer angles, just thought of a circle :grin:

    Very weird "weather patterns" though <ok>

    All depends if you are outside or inside, inside you traverse double the angle ;)

    To be fair... It was news when it was discovered but Saturn's was discovered decades ago and Neptune's was discovered a year or two ago now so can't fault the news for no longer talking about it.

    They are evidence our understanding of the solar system and planets is pretty limited. There is an eisting theory that can explain the hexagons, but it's plasma physics so theoretical astrophysicists are not interested cos they don't ever do actual experiments.

    © Getty Woman denied boarding on plane over dress A woman was reportedly refused boarding on a plane in Mumbai after being told the length of her dress was "inappropriate".
    The girl was reportedly preparing to board an IndiGo flight from Mumbai to Delhi, India, when three male employees told her she would have to change her outfit before flying.
    She had travelled from Doha on a Qatar Airways flight and was set to take a connecting flight to Delhi when the incident occurred.

    She had travelled from Doha on a Qatar Airways flight and was set to take a connecting flight to Delhi when the incident occurred.
    Another passenger, Purabi Das, was shocked by the move, and shared her thoughts on Facebook.
    According to NDTV, she wrote: "She was not permitted to board because she was wearing a knee-length frock which was considered inappropriate wear by an airline that has frocks of the same length for its stewardesses' uniforms!"

    © Provided by AOL Travel UK Woman refused boarding on plane over 'inappropriate' dress The woman's sister was an IndiGo employee, and the airline says she was stopped in keeping with with a dress code that applies to its employees when they use "staff leisure travel privileges".
    The woman reportedly got on the next available flight after changing into trousers.
    According to the Mirror, the airline said in a statement: "We regret that an IndiGo passenger (who happens to be an ex IndiGo employee and a family member of a current employee) experienced an untoward behaviour at the Mumbai airport.
    "As per the guidelines outlined, employees and the nominated family members are required to maintain a specific dress code, as and when they fly with the airline under the staff leisure travel privileges.
    "Keeping in mind this policy, the Mumbai ground staff followed the protocol to brief this passenger on the dress code policy."

    This is definitely not my area of expertise, but surely the turn is the angle of deviation from the original path?
    Extend the line of the original path and measure the angle between that and the new direction and that will be 60 degrees.

    This is quibbling though, because like you say, the interesting fact is that it does it at all. Perhaps ionised particles in the atmosphere are affected by the magnetic field.
    Maybe the reason it isn't big news is that is isn't as baffling to the scientists studying it as it is to the layman. It's not as though it's being kept a secret.

    Voices Heard In Russian Jet Wreckage - Reports
    please log in to view this image
    Sky News – 18 minutes ago

    Voices have been heard inside the wreckage of the Russian passenger plane which crashed over central Sinai with 224 people on board, according to Egyptian search and rescue officials.
    An officer at the scene, who requested anonymity, told news agency Reuters: "...We hope to find survivors especially after hearing pained voices of people inside."
    He said that the plane had split in two and that rescuers had found at least five dead children at the scene, other bodies were discovered still strapped into their seats.
    Rescuers have discovered the crucial black box, which contains vital aircraft data and will help investigators to work out what happened in the moments before the plane began its rapid descent.
    The Airbus A321, operated by the Russian airline Kogalymavia, was travelling from the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to the Russian city of St Petersburg when it disappeared from radar screens 23 minutes into the flight.
    Egyptian security sources say there is no indication the plane was shot down or blown up.
    :: What Caused KGL-9268 To Plunge From The Sky?
    Egypt's North Sinai is home to a two-year-old Islamist insurgency. Militants linked to Islamic State have killed hundreds of soldiers and have also attacked Western targets in recent months.
    According to Egyptian media, the pilot reported a technical failure shortly after take off and requested to land at a nearby airport, Sky's Middle East correspondent Sherine Tadros reported.
    However, Mike Vivian, the former head of flight operations at the Civil Aviation Authority, told Sky News "hostile action" should not be ruled out.
    "Although hostile action has been dismissed I am absolutely certain that will be one of the focuses of investigators on the ground," he said.
    The plane, with registration number KGL-9268, had been flying at an altitude of 31,000ft when contact was lost, according to Egypt's civil aviation ministry.
    Egyptian search and rescue teams have located the wreckage in the Hassana area, 22 miles (35km) south of the northern city of Arish, the ministry said.
    Russian aviation sources are reporting that the plane was carrying 200 adult passengers, 17 children and 7 crew members.
    Several hundred relatives of those on board the flight gathered at Pulkovo airport near St Petersburg, where the plane was due to land, as reports of the crashed began to emerge. Many have now been taken to a nearby hotel to await information on the fate of their loved ones from the Russian authorities.
    Sky's Russia correspondent John Sparks says Russian authorities have so far conveyed very little information to those gathered, although President Vladimir Putin has expressed his condolences to the families of the victims.
    He has declared Sunday a national day of mourning.
    Russia's Investigative Committee, the country's top investigative body, has also opened an investigation into possible violations of flight safety procedures.
    Kogalymavia/Metrojet, a small airline with only around six jets, mainly operates Russian internal flights. The firm has had one safety incident with an aircraft on the ground in 2011 in which three people were killed.
    Initially there were several conflicting reports about the fate of the plane. An Egyptian official told local media the plane was safely in Turkish airspace after briefly losing contact with air traffic controllers.
    There were also reports that the plane went missing in Cypriot airspace.
    More follows...

    ****ed up, over 200 people, hopefully there is some really lucky batards!

    If you traverse only one plane its 60 degrees, but if you traverse two 60 degree planes it's 120.

    Hardly a secret given NASA's photos are all over the internet, and no there no credible explanations in mainstream theory, that I know and I also know that anything that cannot be used as a positive for mainstream accepted theory is "mysterious" and little attention is paid to it until someone coems up with a way to patch it to what we already think.

    I couold post 100 things easiy that flies in the face of our most cherished theories. Some are theory killers, and yet ignored and labeled mysterious and "unexplained" <laugh>

    The History of the Jack O'Lantern.

    According to Irish folklore, a man called Stingy Jack was sentenced to roam the earth for eternity by the devil. A ghostly figure of the night, Jack walks with a burning coal inside of a carved out turnip to light his way. Irish folklore began to refer to this spooky figure as 'Jack of the Lantern' which then became 'Jack O’Lantern.'

    We all know that Halloween started with the Irish festival of Samhain or 'All Hallows Eve', which then became known as Halloween. This was a time of year when the veil between this world and the next was at its weakest and spirits roamed the world. This legend is why people in Ireland began to make their own versions of Jack’s lantern by carving grotesque faces into turnips, potatoes and beets, placing them by their homes to frighten away Stingy Jack and other wandering evil spirits and travelers.

    Irish migrants in the 19th century brought this legend across the Atlantic where they discovered that Pumpkins were easier to carve than Turnips. So it’s to an Irish character called Stingy Jack that we owe the origins of the modern Jack O'Lanterns.
