| Description |
Cassini takes a look at Saturn's energetic, beautiful and strange aurora. As on the Earth, Saturn's aurora glow when charged particles crash into the planet's atmosphere. Unlike Earthly aurora, this phenomenon is not just a single glowing ring, but something that sometimes covers a broad area across the polar region. One scientist said, "Our current ideas on what forms Saturn's aurora predict that this region should be empty, so finding such a bright aurora here is a fantastic surprise." http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2008-208 In this image, the red colors represent heat rising from deep inside Saturn, as seen in infrared light. The blue areas are the aurora, seen in a different infrared wavelength. Sent by: Cassini | From: Saturn | Credit: NASA/JPL/SSI Added to www.ridingwithrobots.org Nov 12, 2008. |
