Saturnian Aurora

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Hubble Space Telescope captured this striking view of Saturn's ultraviolet aurora, appearing as pole-encircling rings. These auroral displays tower more than 1,000 miles above the planet's cloud tops. Researchers have been studying the ebb and flow of Saturn's aurora using Hubble's cameras and instruments onboard the Cassini spacecraft. These observations help us understand the processes that create these dramatic light shows.
