It's okay, Saturn! We're all a little strange sometimes. New NASAHubble images show strange spokes that appear across Saturn's rings around the planet's equinoxes. They're likely caused by Saturn's magnetic field electrically charging tiny ice particles. Image Description: Hubble image of Saturn against a black backdrop. The planet is horizontally striped with browns, golds, oranges, and dark reds. Near the planet’s equator, the stripes are especially bright yellow. The planet is surrounded by rings, and the angle of the image shows them from above, so the divisions between different rings are stark. Nearest the planet, the rings are darker and almost transparent. Next out, gray rings move from darker to lighter as you move away from the planet. Then, a thin, very dark ring is surrounded by medium brown rings farthest out. #Saturn #Space #Planets #GasGiant #Hubble #Telescope #NASA
