Vibrant auroras circle Saturn's north pole in this new image from the Hubble Space Telescope. Astronomers created this composite by combining images that were captured in ultraviolet light with observations of Saturn in optical, or visible wavelengths of light. While auroras on Earth are visible to the human eye, Saturn's auroras glow with ultraviolet light, which is outside the visible spectrum. — Hanneke Weitering

Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a circle of vibrant auroras on Saturn’s North Pole. You can see the auroras in the given image. It looks wonderful with bluish color. It seems it is very close view of Saturn which is not possible with open eyes. Ring around the Saturn looks amazing. We are still unaware of various things happening in space.
