Aurora around Saturn's North Pole
Saturn's north pole glows in ultraviolet, showing auroras like Earth's. The Hubble Space Telescope and Cassini spacecraft worked together in 2017 to capture these images. Hubble provided the ultraviolet views of the aurora, combined with optical images of Saturn's clouds and rings. This data helps us understand how auroras form on other gas giants.
