Description
Starlink's coverage map at starlink.com/map looks extremely similar to a H3 grid system, but if one overlays the two, they are distinctively different, see attached screenshot of a H3 grid with a single Starlink cell overlaid.
Where would I start to modify the H3 library in order to achieve the grid that Starlink is projecting?

Research direction
The issue names no repository file, test, or entry point; begin by reading the H3 grid implementation and comparing it with the Starlink map and attached H3-versus-Starlink image. Before coding, define the required rotation, translation, size, and pattern as an implementable specification. Done would require agreement that the resulting grid matches that specification.
