That's what they say...

NASA says this photo shows an unusually active aurora over the (handwaved, still unexplained¹) hexagonal atmospheric structure surrounding the south pole of Saturn.

Me, I have a different theory.  I say the Markovian gate at Saturn's south pole is being activated.

What's your call?

[1]  No, really, I'm serious.  We have no explanation for it whatsoever.  It's a complete mystery.  I personally suspect there's some kind of rotational-resonance mechanism at work, some kind of atmospheric phenomenon that would normally produce a wavy line of cloud features around the pole but which, by some chance, has fallen into some kind of self-reinforcing resonance; but as to what that phenomenon might be...?  Your guess is as good as mine.

Shouldn't a Markovian gate be more accessible? If not, time to call Nathan Brazil.

I seem to recall many of the Markovian gates being located on dead worlds that didn't make it in this universe.
