The rings of Saturn shine in the magnificent new portrait of NASA Hubble

Saturn is the top model chic of the fashionista of the solar system. He wears his rings as he strutted on the trail of the cosmos. It's a beautiful planet, and the Hubble Space Telescope knows how to give it the best of itself. A new Hubble portrait of the ringed planet shows that some things change and some things remain unchanged. A big storm located near the North Pole in 2018 has now disappeared, but a Enigmatic hexagonal jetstream at the top of the planet is still going strong.

Hubble is a joint project between NASA and the European Space Agency. Both agencies issued press releases on the new portrait on Thursday. "This gives us a magnificent view of its glossy and glossy structure," said ESA. "Hubble solves many loops and weaker inner rings."

NASA said: "This image reveals unprecedented clarity only visible in snapshots taken by NASA spacecraft traveling to the distant planet." the Cassini mission now complete it is closer to Saturn before destroying itself in the atmosphere of the planet in 2017.

Scientists will use this Hubble image to track changes in the planet over time. The rest of us can simply watch it and remember the wonders of our solar system.
