Politicians, explain this (guest post by Uranus)

Hey there, all you powerful government dicks! Would you mind taking time out from plundering and destroying the whole world to explain why our knowledge of astrophysics doesn't comprehend this gigantic, hexagonal object in Saturn's atmosphere? We've known about it for decades, and still don't know what it is. Sure, it's probably not a problem, as in nothing to see here, move along. But, with outer space just a few miles away from everyone, there is a fairly urgent need to understand what happens, in that if this isn't a natural formation, it could be the source of all good or evil. Fifteen thousand miles wide and 60 miles thick, the photograph is very impressive.
