"For the second time in 11 years, the galaxy known as NGC 5584 is garnering attention as the brightly colored home of a brilliant supernova...........The explosion 11 years ago, however, was a much more puzzling type of supernova, and scientists remain baffled by what caused that explosion."

It looks like a cross is coming (goin in) as part of the rose......A cross is really a square.....but the cross within the square is really a cube when the intersection of the cross becomes a line....giving rise to a cross-section of squares and triangles, that is, a hexagon....thought it was intersting and seems to be correlated with Saturn's complex hexagon pattern....
