Saturn shines in latest NASA image: 'Rings are still as stunning as ever'
By Chris Ciaccia | Fox News

    Amateur astronomers in the Northern Hemisphere may be able to currently see Saturn, but NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has taken a series of images of the ringed planet that give new details about its rings, as well as its ever-changing weather.

In a blog post, NASA said the images snapped by the telescope "are more than just beauty shots," adding that they shed new light on a planet that has "a turbulent, dynamic atmosphere."

"This year's Hubble offering, for example, shows that a large storm visible in the 2018 Hubble image in the north polar region has vanished," the government agency wrote in the post. "Smaller storms pop into view like popcorn kernels popping in a microwave oven before disappearing just as quickly. Even the planet's banded structure reveals subtle changes in color."
