#2There are a number of fluid dynamic studies that show 'angled' flow, generally around mixed densities and viscositys coming into contact with each other. That said, its a cool effect.
If it were science fiction there would be a giant hexagonal shaped structure under the clouds on the pole. Waiting ...
