2024年12月9日 · This is a series of Hubble Space Telescope images of the planet Saturn taken from 2018 to 2024. This sequence shows how the tilt of the magnificent ring system changes relative to the view from Earth, as Saturn orbits the Sun. Approximately every 15 years the relatively paper-thin rings (about one mile thick) can be seen edge-on.

2023年3月30日 · The discovery: Saturn's vast ring system is heating the giant planet's upper atmosphere. The phenomenon has never before been seen in the solar system. It's an unexpected interaction between Saturn and its rings that potentially could provide a tool for predicting if planets around other stars have glorious Saturn-like ring systems, too.

2019年9月12日 · The latest view of Saturn from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captures exquisite details of the ring system—which looks like a phonograph record with grooves that represent detailed structure within the rings—and atmospheric details that once could only be captured by spacecraft visiting the distant world.

2023年12月21日 · This photo of Saturn was taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope on 22 October 2023, when the ringed planet was approximately 1365 million kilometres from Earth. Hubble's ultra-sharp vision reveals a phenomenon called ring spokes. Saturn's spokes are transient features that rotate along with the rings.

2 天之前 · Saturn's rings are made from dust and water particles but are around 98% ice. They're about a mile thick and stretch to 87,000 miles (140,000 kilometers) from the planet. Wishing you clear skies ...

2003年9月9日 · This image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows Saturn's Southern Hemisphere and the southern face of its rings in Infrared light. Saturn experiences seasonal tilts away from and toward the Sun, much the same way …

2023年12月21日 · Hubble's ultra-sharp vision reveals a phenomenon called ring spokes. Saturn's spokes are transient features that rotate along with the rings. Their ghostly appearance only persists for two or three rotations around Saturn. During active periods, freshly-formed spokes continuously add to the pattern.
