Is there a known regular hexagon larger than the one on Saturn?

[-] LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

There's just the one, right on its north pole.

Yeah, that regular hexagon is something like twice the Earth's diameter on a side, it's enormous. I was wondering if we know of a regular hexagon larger than that anywhere in the known universe?

It's a bit like, is the Titanic the largest manmade object ever accidentally broken in half?
