Saturn's Hexagon - Secular Sanity - Sep 5, 2018
Bizarre Hexagon on Saturn May Be 180 Miles Tall
The core temperature is hot.
Is there any way that Saturn’s hexagon could be formed in the same way that Bénard cells are formed?

Hopefully additional reasons could be offered than the usual knock that they form in groups rather than long-lived individuality, and are not as neat in appearance.
